look at the Steinberg UR22 @ $150.00 I know that shoots the wad. Has nice preamps(Yamaha's D-pres), great bang for buck converters. Drivers are solid which is VERY important. Comes with OEM version of Cubase. Heads and shoulders above the others you have mentioned. As for mics that can be discussed to death. Perhaps a used shure SM57 to start with. If you are locked into condensers the MXL 67G can be had for 84 bucks. The 2020 is still not bad at 50 though. Good luck
