You are upgrading your converters from the 002, but bypassing them with Neve's built in converters?

I don't know if that's a good investment strategy, if you choose this route I would simply keep using the SPDIF input on the 002 then.

Versatile preamps topping the list are certainly the Great River MP-2NV and Phoenix Audio DRS2 as far as your listed uses go. The MP-2NV goes from fairly clean to driven in a hard kind of way with a beefed up low end, the DRS2 goes from more clean capability (transformerless input, transformer out) to a richer more harmonically enhanced midrange sound.
