If you e.g. import wav files, you don't need hardware latency
compensation. It depends on what exactly the OP wants to do.

Again, it depends on what the OP wants to do. Actually the OP wants to
use it for mixing, but this not necessarily implies that e.g. aux and
subgroups are required. If I would do a "non-trivial project" I would
consider to work on this project for more than just 15 hours ;).

Like the dancer we go around in circles ;). Maybe the OP could chime in
and mention why he doesn't use Ardour.
