I’ve used a Microsoft Sculpt ergonomic mouse for nearly 5yrs now (always on a MBP). I used to get a lot of pain, using a trackpad. The arch of my hand while using it (it’s like the size and shape of a tennis ball) helps a lot. I don’t think that I could ever go back to anything else.
(I know that it’s neither option that you were asking about but ergonomics really matter in this business)

Thanks for your suggestion. That's one concern I have regarding the usage of a trackpack. Maybe for some people a mouse might be a better fit.
