I like thumb, because that lets me have right, center, left on finger 
control.  Maybe I don't know what I am missing though.  Just my 2 cents.

For what its worth, I absolutely love watching non-ballers walk up to my 
desk and the trackball stops them on site.  I know they want to flip it 
over and mouse it.
