1010 would definately be a better "quality" card. Using the balanced inputs (with balanced cables) will give you much better signal, less noise, etc. And the break out box is important. Although im not sure if this is afact, but i have heard that if everthing is on the PCI card itself, it has much high noise ratio. There was a really good explaination for this also but i dont remember all it said. I wouldnt go with RCA inputs. How many inputs are you going to need though? there are other, cheaper alternatives.
