Well, a mouse is much more responsive than keyboard controls (you can
'vid') but less accurate (aiming is just as accurate, but turning around
quickly and then _stopping_ the turn exactly where you want to plant a few
machine gun rounds in somebody's face behind you is harder to get
accurately)

You can be really good with either. I'd think the best control interface
would be a gamepad sort of thing, but I haven't seen any with enough
buttons to be useful for a Doom/Duke3d/Marathon sort of game. I'm
primarily speaking from Marathon experience here, where the mouse aims up,
down, left and right, as opposed to moving you forward and backwards. In
Duke, the mouse controls movements in the x,y plane, and vertical aiming
is keyboard controlled.
