Do you use Ubuntu Studio or just Mac?
Ubuntu studio development for PowerPC has stopped, so I use Debian on the Mac.

The PCI card connects directly to a hardware bus. Therefore has a shorter
distance to travel and it has a wider bandwidth. Although USB 2.0 is faster,
it is still a serial communication protocol. When you have multiple USB
devices on the bus, you now introduce buffering, a longer more narrow distance
for the signal to travel which translates to more latency. When you want
portability, USB 2.0 devices are the way to go. If you want low-latency, look
into PCI devices.

electronic drumset, midi keyboard, vocals, occasional woodwind/brass
instruments.
Are you going to play all these instruments yourself as separate tracks, or
will other people play them as you record?
