It really depends on each individual ... we all like different "mouse feel" really ...
A couple of suggestions tho:
-Take a corded mouse, its lighter and you never get out of battery in the middle of a fight 😉
-Also choose carefully a good mouse-pad, it's very important as well
-You don't need to go to the expensive gamer brands, you can get quality from Logitech or Microsoft as well... so don't be ashamed of taking a combo keyboard+mouse from these brands
-Depending on what games you are in, you will need more or less buttons on the mouse - some people don't like too many buttons on the mouse so really make sure not to get a mouse that will annoy you on the long run (too many buttons often means that you click on some of them by mistake)

Personally I have a Logitech combo with 3 additional buttons on the mouse and a steelseries mouse-pad and im very happy with all that.

Thanks so much! I was wondering if I should spend a lot of money on a mouse and keyboard because one of my friends bought a mouse (Yes, just a mouse) for $90.00! I figured that was a bit over the top and now I know that it's perfectly fine to get a "cheap" mouse.

To chime in on what vratchek said, I have a Razer mouse that I bought way back when. It comes with the Razer software to let you customize the dpi and all that crap. I turn it down to the lowest setting, I'm not even making good use of the higher dpi settings. Paying all that extra money for nothing! Don't get me wrong, the Lachesis--no longer in production--is a good mouse. I just feel it wasn't worth it for my use. I like to keep the mouse simple. I keep hitting the extra buttons, had to unmap them so that it didn't keep changing the dpi on the fly.

I would've been better off getting a cheaper microsoft/logitech mouse!
