Changing styles and positions is much better for your hands. Uses different motions and parts of your hand, so, any less use for a certain part reduces wear on that part.
Aside from that, tablet gives you a LOT more control when painting things. I wouldn't do what to do without one.
Personally I use a combination of a lot of keystrokes (not a big fan of menus if I can keystroke something in three keys or less), I got myself one of the programmable gaming pads for keystrokes in higher end apps. I'm constantly switching between a keyboard, mouse, tablet and a game pad. Having 20+ years of mousing wear and tear on my hands I kind of worry about those things.
And do a lot of hand (and body) stretching and exercisng.
