USB because you don't have to crawl down to the back of the case to get to it.

It really doesn't matter much because all of the described ports can handle any output the mouse has. The big swinger is convenience - access is best with USB, and the only option that is hot-pluggable is USB. With PS/2, parallel, serial, etc., the rodent has to be connected during boot or it will not register.
USB polling rate can be increased beyond 125 samples/sec if you desire.

Why? Every geek knows SCUZZY = speed. :laugh:

I was playing BF2 (single player) on my small IDEQ system w/Zboard and a PS/2 ball mouse. The pointer lagged enormously, and I thought it was my 9800Pro that induced the suckage.
Switched it out with my G5, and all was well again. Not sure if the differences in perceived speed was due to mouse design, or the interface.
