The size of the monitor has nothing to do with moving your mouse. Its all about screen resolution (which, admittedly, you can set higher on large screens and still see it)
I have an MS Intellimouse Explorer (optical, 4 button + wheel), and I can't use other mice anymore (well, ones with balls anyway). if you're going to have a mouse, definately go for optical, reguardless of what PC mag reviewers say.
On the trackball side, they take a lot of getting used to. My mate loves trackballs, I hate them. I'd recomend getting a cheap one if you wanna try it, use it for a while to see if you can deal with the weird movements and then get a good one if you like it. otherwise, MS intellimouse explorer, or Logitech dual optical are probably the best choices out there (but you pay for them)
