I have always loved the Logitech MX18: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Performance-Optical-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B0007Z1M50
The shape is very comfortable, resolution is adjustable from the hardware (no drivers needed), the scroll is clicky (not that weighted smooth endless scroll nonsense), middle mouse button is just a button (no sideways scroll nonsense, no smooth/clicky scroll mode switch nonsense) and there's two handy forward+backward buttons by the thumb area. It's just a good, comfortable mouse.
