Bouncing Software Synths for Stem Mixdown/Mastering?

[ibeers]

Right now I'm in the process of creating stems for a studio to mixdown and master. I mostly use software synths and was wondering how I should prepare them.

Should I...

(A) Bounce down the soft-synth groups internally within Logic at the song's current bit and sample rate?

or

(B) Record them back into Logic through my Orpheus?

Personally, I would track it out of Logic through some Neve/API pres, but if that's too much trouble just go with A.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought that going from the line out of the Orpheus to an analog preamp would be improper gain staging. Isn't it a fact that most analog preamps have either mic or instrument level in, not line in?

Thanks for your feedback
