Mouse for MacBook, bluetooth?

I'm after a mouse for a MacBook - how anyone can live with a trackpad for more than a few hours is beyond me. Ideally I'd like a wireless mouse and bluetooth seems the obvious choice so it doesn't use a USB port with with a dongle.

Anything wrong with bluetooth mice? Are they susceptible to interference in crowded environments with lots of other bluetooth and WiFi stuff around? I also use a bluetooth connection between laptop and mobile phone for data - will using bluetooth for both connections simultaneously pose any problem?

...so if bluetooth is still a good idea despite my current concerns, can any recommend a better mouse than the Logitech V270 Cordless Optical Notebook Mouse for Bluetooth?

Or the Apple wireless Mighty Mouse - great bit of kit

The more I read about bluetooth the less interested I am in it, my mouse is going to have a tail. Any thoughts on these two?

Logitech® V150 Laser Mouse for Notebooks ~£15

Logitech® Pilot® Optical Mouse ~£11

Purely aesthetically I'm thinking white will go with the MacBook better... but that's really quite sad! I've never used a laser mouse, are they much better than regular optical mice?

When mice say "for notebooks" in their title, it usually indicates they are a bit smaller, which I find uncomfortable. I'd just plug in my Intellimouse.
