do you want any accuracy whatsoever? 

then go optical. 

laser sensors have strange acceleration

tbh, a mouse is imo still something you need to "grope" before making a choice, the hardware and software are essentially to a point where we can configure compensations for the differences the sensors make, but you cant change settings to reduce cramps from holding a mouse you're not comfortable with.

this. shape > comfort > sensor > buttons IMO

as well as laser's "weird acceleration" as you stated, essentially being predictable enough to compensate against either manually or in software.

 

i kinda also wanna note that the DPI numbers they've been throwing at our heads are getting insane, my G500 goes up to 5600, which is moving past two 1440p monitors at the flick of a wrist, with 1500 remaining my setting of choice

 

EDIT: actually, if you dont have a "perfect surface", i'd actually recommend laser over optical, because optical tends to react to oddities in the surface underneath, like those mousepads with a calendar on them

6000dpi on Rival300 here, 400 ingame/800 desktop with 2560x1080

 

my friend games at 3200DPI 6 sens on csgo

how bad is the carpal tunnel when he's doing accurate shots?

he doesn't have accurate shots

he doesn't snipe

 

I'm trying to get him used to low sens now that he uses QcK+. He is getting used to 4 sens 800DPI now

Neither.

As has been said, it's mostly just your preference, but I personally wouldn't touch either of those with a ten-meter pole.
