What usb sound card should i buy for a laptop doing audio processing?

[trojman44]

I'm looking to buy a USB sound card for my laptop because i am doing audio processing and normalization for a video game via adobe audition and i was wondering what would work best?
i have looked at these cards so far:

-ASUS Xonar U3
-Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D THX USB
-Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro USB
-Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Go! Pro USB

but i dont really know the difference between them beside price (looking to spend under $100)
any input will help.

Thanks

get a professional recording card like prosonus, focusrite, or m-audio

and check for digital outs and ins, especially spdif for stereo and, possibly lightpipe, if you need a lot of channels in and out digitally
