presonus firepod vs. alesis io 26 vs. tascam US-1641

[mitb Profile]

hey, im planning to get an interface, which i will probably use mainly for recording live instruments on several tracks at once and i will do it on my laptop, which i still didnt buy because it depends on how much money i will spend on an interface, while reading and searching i found those 3 interfaces which are in the same price range and have similar features, so i wanted to ask if any of you has one of them.
and can offer any advice on which of them to choose.

or maybe someone can suggest me maybe another interface which is better in this price range or lower ;]

i dont have good preamps or very good microphones, just an 8drum samson microphone set and those cheap mxl condensers i think its mxl 990 and 991.

all i have is a shitty preamp called audio buddy, small behringer 6 channel mixer and m-audio audiophile 192 and an evolution (m-audio) mk-461c

so any comments/suggestions would be highly appreciated
