Take a good look at the specs.  I bought a M-Audio Audiophile USB and
found out that it was not "class compliant" and then on top of that it
was unable to do full-duplex audio at 24/96.  I ended up buying a PCI
card.

The general feedback I got from others was that 24/96 audio on a USB
device can be somewhat tricky.
