Depends on how much you use your mouse. My computer came with a cheap mouse, and
it wore out in a year (cleaning it didn't help, a part had worn). I then bought
a Microsoft Mouse, and have been happy with it. I recommend a Microsoft or
Logitech mouse in the $40-$60 range. Both come with good software (Intellipoint
or MouseWare 7.0, respectively) and have good reputations for durability.  Mouse
"resolution" is not very important unless you are a graphic designer with a big
monitor, in which case you probably would use a trackball instead of a mouse
anyway.
