USB PC recording devices..
Currently I have a Zoom H5 to record with. I'll either use two external mics or the built-in mics to record. The Zoom replaced an old Tascam US-122 USB device that had two inputs.
I like using the Zoom, but because I like a little organization on my desk and due to the relative frailty of the Zoom, after each use I disconnect everything and put the Zoom away. I had always felt that the Tascam added a bit of noise to my recordings so I'm wondering what's out there now for a modest two input device, budget of around $200. I'd rather use the Zoom to capture ideas and practice sessions and have a desktop device that I can tuck alongside my monitor and keep my mics set up on a permanent basis.

RME babyface
 Older ones go for cheap on ebay and RME keeps updating drivers for it. They work fabulously, great Windows driver (the best). And nice sounding too!

I had a Scarlett 2i2 that I liked, but replaced it with an Audient ID14 which I have to say is a better sounding device.

I have a Fender slide ios that works quite well
 Whatever you do, stay away from the Amplug I/O - they are terrible

On the more frugal side.. I know Berhinger in general is not "top quality"..
But their USB interfaces get good reviews for lower price category I am sure the others you are looking at are higher quality. But for my home hobby studio it's hard to beat the $80-90 Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD or for slightly more the 404HD with 4 Ins. BTW I have mine setup on my desk.. In addition, I use it as my PC's sound card.. Plus use 2nd set of outputs go to my home stereo system
