The type of mouse you get really depends on what you're doing with it. For your uses, I don't think a trackball would be a bad choice necessarily (You wouldn't have to worry about moving your hand, finding a good surface. Might be good for you), however I was never a big fan of them myself. They work well for their purpose, but that purpose doesn't work well for me.
As far as cordless mice go. I won't get one only because of the weight. In all other respects, they are virtually identical to corded mice. Yes, they respond a little slower. Yes, they are a little less precise. The differences, however, are so small that you won't notice them. If you are really bothered by the cord, get one. If you don't mind, however, stick with corded. No batteries to replace/recharge, you never have to worry about if it will receive correctly it's more comfortable to use, and it's lighter.
My recommendation would be a good USB mouse. Logitech makes the best. Sure, there are some others, but they're never as good. Which one you get depends on what you'll be using it for. If it's for gaming, get the MX518. If it's for general use and needs to be portable, get something smaller. If you don't game, but you want a really precise mouse, maybe try a laser mouse. I'd stay away from the MX1000 laser, but that's only because it's cordless. If that's cool, maybe give that a shot. Otherwise check out the G5: laser USB mouse, and it's not too big. At $50 it's a pretty decent buy (laser mice can be quite expensive), and it would probably work well for you.
