RME Babyface, small form factor, ridiculously good drivers, bundled software (totalmix) is great, nice sounding preamps.

VERY open ended audio interface question...
I have used a Focusrite 2i2 for a while but last week I bought an Audient ID44. Main reason was that the micamps on the 2i2 became noisy but still were not strong enough for my low signal output small diaphragm condenser mics from line audio. I also needed more inputs but for your situation the ID22 should work fine. Built like a tank!
Last night I concluded a recording session with 5 layers of guitar and one layer of bass - the additional Audient ID44 software was really helpful when setting up the different scenarios |

RME
After owning on several others, I have settled on RME. They seem to have the most stable Windows drivers.

The Audients would certainly be on my list if I was considering a new mic.

I have a Focusrite Clarett 4pre. Great unit.

For example example lets say that "pretty high ceiling" is $25,000 for a home studio . In that case then in a USB interface (In my opinion) one of if not the best 2 in 4 out you can get, is Prism Sound Lyra 2 Arguably the best converters and pres you will find in a combo interface https://vintageking.com/prism-sound-lyra-2

I have had an Scarlett 212 but replaced it with a used Audient ID14 which I find better / warmer

If you're on a budget you can't beat the Behringer UMC404 HD for price and features. I was sceptical when I bought it years ago but it has plenty of hours logged on it now and I absolutely love it. That particular model has 4 inputs (midas preamps to).

I'm not saying the UMC Midas pre-amps are better than the Babyface ones but it suits my workflow better to have a bass guitar, electric guitar and condenser mic at the ready using 3 inputs of the UMC404. Also the headphone output is louder than the Babyface. The Behringer UMC series run without any drivers under Apple OS-X and they will run at 32 samples latency on my 2 computers.

So far, no complaints. I like the 4 inputs, I use it to track drums as well as guitar and bass. The extra inputs lets me set up a sound on sound rig using multiple amps.

It all depends on your budget. Focusrite are great value as are Audient and RME and Apollo!
