The tiny "scroll ball" on the Mac mouse works up/down and left/right. I didn't think much about it until you mentioned it so I tried it in the Safari browser and Firefox browser. As an example, if you make your web browser window narrow so you cannot see all the content left and right, the "scroll ball" can be moved left and right to pan back and forth. So in addition to the typical up/down of a scroll wheel, the "scroll ball" also goes left/right.
There are probably better mice out there but how they feel and the features you want are really a matter of personal preference. For me, the wireless MightyMouse is about the right size and feels pretty good in my hand. I also own a few other mice, mostly for travel with the laptop. These are smaller mice that fatigue my hand after prolonged use.
