Mouse for gaming and graphics, trackball for everything else. Why choose when you can have both?
Also a 3dConnexion space mouse is handy
If you're doing freehand drawing
which I rarely do, but obviously many graphic artists care a lot about
a stylus and tablet really beats the pants off a mouse. Try to sign your name with a mouse and a tablet in a graphics program, and it really drives home the difference.
That's before one even gets to graphics programs being able to use tilt- and pressure-sensitive stylus inputs to affect brushstrokes.
Agreed, for 2D graphics a tablet is the optimal choice. Most 3D suites are really optimized for mouse and keyboard, though.
