Audio Interface for Laptop

[Phlaw]

I need some recommendations for a good audio interface for a laptop. I have to be able to record at least 6 Mic's at the same time.

I know Roland use to have something called the STudio Pack, but not sure if they had a laptop version.


Thanks

6 mics eh? Well...

Off the top of my head

1) Presonus Firepod
2) Edirol UA1000 + DMP3 or other stereo preamp
3) M-Audio Firewire 1814 + Behringer ADA8000 or other ADAT preamp
4) Hercules 16/12 + two stereo preamps of your choice.
5) Behringer BCA2000 + ADAT preamp of chioce

I've heard good things about the Presonus, I'm fond of Edirol's drivers, I think the M-audio product is good but I've heard things about it in terms of audio quality weaknesses, Hercules tends to be pretty good but I know very little about it, and Behringer is totally unknown quantity when it comes to driver support.
