Recording 6-channels of Piezo to a Mac?

I'm looking to record 6-channels of piezo pickups into a DAW. What would be a good all-in-one interface?

I ask cause right now I can't decide what I should purchase first...An active DI or a passive DI, or just an 8-ch line level AD box or one with built Mic inputs... I can't seem to find an 8-ch instrument level firewire box on the market...

You will need mic amps for piezo pick-ups. You can probably use instrument level inputs, but the typical impedance converter in a piezo set-up works better into a mic pre-amp (through a DI or not).
