Question on audio interfaces, please help!

[TNA]

Since it's just voice over work I'm assuming you'd only be recording one mic at a time? Therefore you need one mic pre and then some way of getting that signal into the computer. Since you are getting a mac that will most likely be firewire I'd assume. Your mic pre is where your sound quality will mostly come from. You have two options. Most interfaces have mic pres built in, you can use this pre and it will sound anywhere from not terrible to decent depending on the quality and price. But generally an outboard preamp is going to sound better. So you can then get a single channel preamp and connect that to a single channel firewire interface. I can't really make any recommendations on specific preamps or single channel interfaces though.

Motu is rated very high when this topic comes up for the drivers - and there's nothing wrong with usb. Same thing.
