You shouldn't experience any problems swapping mice. Especially if you go with a Logitech - most Dell provided wireless rodents seem to be of that species.
Your battery usage isn't unusual - going with rechargeable NiMh types will pay for itself over the long run versus one time alkalines. And if you get a quality charger and a couple sets of batteries, you're set for use in other portable devices as well.
Most folks are seeing a year or so on a set of quality alkalines in the keyboard - it only transmits when you hit the keys, so its power use is much lower. Keyboard should not be affected by mouse change in any way.
