Personally I like right-clicking to recenter.  Click-and-drag takes more 
work.

Everything that can be done with the middle mouse button should be 
possible to do without it (with another button plus some key or other). 
  But it's good to avoid using the keyboard so double-clicks or 
click-and-hold may be helpful here also.

I liked the behavior in civ3: click-and-hold to enter goto mode.  The 
click-and-drag is a bit cumbersome since it is not easy to move units 
one tile in this way.
