Are you REALLY going to support USB HID or are you just going to put a USB connector on so you dont need a USB to PS/2 adapter?

Almost all mice (for the forseeable future) support legacy PS/2 over USB (that's where they send PS/2 signals down their USB cable) and so I cannot see the benefit of adding an expensive USB host chip.

Just my 2p's worth.

I take it you know there are several open-source projects like this, with example PIC code to peek at if you like ;-)
