I've also heard very good things about the 1010LT. It's certainly going
to be as good as any other card that sits in the computer, but has a lot
more flexibility. The XLR inputs and pre-amps are a nice addition as
well if you are trying to stay on a budget. I have the Delta 1010
(twice the price of the 1010LT and no pre-amps), and it's very nice
because all the input and output will take balanced lines. I find it to
be extremely quiet. I use the pre-amps on my Mackie 1402-VLZ which are
nothing to write home about, but are good enough for anything I might do
for now.

If you want to stay cheap but still have good quality and have the extra
inputs, I think the 1010LT would be a great way to go. In my experience
with music equipment, I've often regretted getting just what I need, and
have never regretted getting more than I need with a bit more flexibility.
