MOST RELIABLE INTERFACE FOR MAC PROS RIGHT NOW?

I'm about to purchase a 3 Ghz Mac Pro this week but have a huge dilema . I need an interface that is the most reliable and would provide me with the lowest latency for recording and using VST synths.
The computer will be used in conjunction with Cubase, Live, Reason and Pro-Tools. I already have an M Box Pro for Pro-Tools which only being used to edit PT session that people bring me. I will not go the Apogee Symphony rout. At the price point point of getting a symphony card and an ensemble I would rather get a Lynx Aurora 16 with an Lynx AES card. Unfortunately they don't have a PCI Express card available yet. So I'm thinking that maybe an RME Fireface would do the trick for now, then sell it in a couple of months. Hopefully I don't lose much re-sell value. Should I look into MOTU or M-Audio? Or should I do the unthinkable and wait until February to get a Mac Pro, and hopefully Lynx should have a card out by then.

Let me know for you help.
Many thanks.
