You need to think not just about what you will be doing short term, but a little down the track too!
For now you may only need stereo I/O, but what about later??? Try to plan you purchases with some end goal in mind, and you will not make too many mistakes purchasing 'cheap' gear
When I was faced with the "Which Soundcard?" decision, I ended up spending alot more than I thought, and got an over spec'd 2408mkIII, but now love the fact that I have 24 channels TDIF/ADAT, to interface with a digital mixer or multi-tracker, or whatever....
I have options, and there is no doubt that I will need those options some time soon (ie when 10 simultaneous tracks isnt enough)
Good luck!
