I looked at the Presonus stuff too, and some of it is very cheap, like $60, are there any quality concerns with them? I may even go that route if they sound good, as I don't need anything fancy.
You're safe with the Presonus stuff too. All of these are starter interfaces with relatively negligible differences. With the exception of the 2i2 focusrite having some level clipping problems. I have a Mackie Blackjack which is good but I had to download ASIO4ALL in order to be able to use it with lower sample rates and such. Some people prefer the preamps of some vs. others but that's all splitting hairs and doesn't really matter when you are just getting up and going. What matters is recording more and more regularly and your recording techniques and mixing techniques that you develop will ultimately make the difference.
Anyway, whatever you're leaning towards just buy it. If it's compatible with your operating system just give it a go.
