+1 for Audio Kontrol. rock solid, great sounding and very small footprint.
It's half the size of my MOTU Ultralite.
I use the AK1 out and about, and for gigs.
It's been pretty reliable so far.
Even if I didn't have my MOTU, I'd still be really happy with it.
...and it's mr sakitumi (too late to change profile name)...damn

FW will get you lower latency more reliably than USB.

The Firebox is what I understand to be the best under $300.

From my experience with several interfaces. You're welcome to come try it out on my computer.
