I've become quite fond of the Zoom H6 I picked up last September.  It's 
got stereo mics plus 4 mic/line inputs. It records at 24bit/48khz to SD 
card, or via USB. I've successfully used it with the alsa backend to Jack 
and Ardour, in both stereo mode (USB 1.1 audio class compliant) or 
multitrack (USB 2.0) as well as into Protools on a Mac, but mostly for 
live bands, where my focus has to be on FOH sound, I let it run 
standalone, and import the .wav files into Ardour later.

I used it for some of the vocal and Djembe overdubs on this project:
