DAW: Best Sound Card?

[TonCharr28]

Sorry for not following the prescribed ask-for-build-advice format, but my question is specifically limited: what's a good sound card for a basic Digital Audio Workstation setup? I'm looking at the HT | OMEGA CLARO Plus+[/url. Is that already a good choice?

The budget for this part is $200.

Look into an ASUS Xonar. They are a little less flaky with Vista drivers (and a D@mn sight better than any creative product).

flakey? HT-Omega cards (C-Media chipsets) have amazing drivers for linux, vista 32 and 64.
