I run a online radio station I use a automation program called Radioboss which would be better to run multiple condenser microphones to the computer??

BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UMC404HD audio interface with phantom power supply

Or

Behringer Q1202USB 12 Channel Mixer

I would use 4 Behringer C-3 condenser microhones
 
Four MIC channels on a interface gives more control than the two output channels of the mixer
 
+1. I haven't checked those specific models but USB mixers very often are mixers, meaning the computer sees left and right.

If you absolutely need hardware mixing capability, but you need separate channels in your software, look into something with discrete outs per channel over USB/FW/TB.
If not, and audio interface is the chap.

A third options, again assuming you need hardware mixing, is to get a mixer with direct outs per channel and USB/FW/TB converters.
There are 8 channel USB options out there.

If the computer seeing a stereo mix isn't an issue for you, then ignore the above and pick the one that suits your hardware needs the best. ;)
