Is it better to use mouse or trackpad?

Hello,  I use a MacBook Pro with OSX Lion.  I play Machinarium and now Botanicula using the trackpad.  I can use a wired or wireless mouse, but generally prefer the trackpad.  Wondered if other gamers here had thoughts on use of a mouse over the trackpad.  I have run into a glitch (posted separately) and wondered if by using the mouse I could get past the glitch.

Either is fine (I generally prefer to use a mouse, unless I'm sitting on the sofa). However, about 3/4 of the way into the game, there's a maze that you're required to navigate, and a few people have experienced difficulty with it while using the trackpad.
