M-audio i have to say have been the most stable, reliable and bulletproof i've worked with.
I have yet to use anything from Maudio that did not disgust me in every way. However I dropped $1000 on a used onyx 1640 w FW card and I have never got more bang for my money on any piece of gear. Extremely reliable a breeze to set up and great sounds.
