One factor that _might_ make a difference is your keyboard.
http://www.pfuca.com/products/hhkb/hhkbindex.html advertises
a keyboard that's _much_ smaller than most, which means
moving your hand less to get to the mouse.
I haven't tried the keyboard myself (I think about US$200,
which is a _lot_ for a keyboard), but it might make life
easier for heavy mouse users.
Has anyone tried it?
Also on the topic of hardware for more pleasant mousing,

has some doco on a nifty mouse mat from 3M that
significantly cuts down on mouse slippage.
