Help me choose a new Audio Interface please

I have been using an Edirol DA2496 and want to upgrade to a new (reliable) USB or firewire audio interface with preferably 8 ins and 8 outs and midi.

There are so many out there - which are the most reliable with good preamps?

Thanks

Dell Studio PC running vista, and will be upgrading to Cubase 5 soon.
May have to buy a dedicated USB of firewire card though.
Budget £500 - if it has good preamps to avoid the need to buy extra outboard preamps.
