I would've gone with the E-mu setup. Their stuff is almost always quality. Depending on what kind of programming your using for recording/editing, you can get away with stuff a lot cheaper. My Soundblaster Extigy (USB 5.1 channel external card) works well if you've got something like ProTools but the hook up isn't the easiest in the world since it's not specifically designed for musical equipment...but anything can be done via adapters these days. It does, however, have MIDI and SPDIF inputs and a MIDI out. I can't say I recommend Creative's stuff (especially their fucked software), but the card has served me well. Team it with a cheap (read: free) version of CoolEdit and I've got a decent little setup. Good call on the footswitch, by the way. No digital effect will EVER be able to reproduce a good analog effect. It just can't be done. Hell...just look at Digitech.
