The Belkin 3-button USB ball mouse isn't too terrible. It's similar in shape to the current 3-button Logitechs, if you like that sort of thing. Mechanics aren't the greatest, but probably better that a Depraz. Nice part is that they're often free after rebate from OfficeMax. (And no damn wheel, either.) A few years ago I saw a three-button mouse with two wheels, one on each side of the center button. It was a cheap-looking no-brand job so I didn't buy it, but I thought the idea was interesting.
