If you're just using Windows, it probably doesn't matter and they should all work. However, some other operating sytems have problems with USB devices.

Hi there
Just my two sense worth. I would stick with the PS/2 as it is difficult to find a serial mouse these days. A USB mouse I find works just as well as the PS/2 but if you ever have to do anything in safe mode the USB won't work as safe mode starts with minimum drivers and USB drivers aren't loaded.
