As someone who dailies a trackball, mouse, and trackpad: it depends on the setup. Trackpad is nice for when I'm on my laptop with just one screen. Mouse is nice with two high resolution displays and gaming. And at work I exclusively use a trackball across a triple monitor setup.

Trackpads are finicky. They need to have good hardware and software support, and as far as I'm aware, Apple is seemingly the only vendor capable of both. So naturally I only ever prefer it on my test macs for work.
