I have a UA-25 as well, just thought I comment on the last point:
-p64 -n3 always was the lowest possible setting for me, and to stay
x-run free I need to raise this to -p128 -n3.
If someone can tell me how to get lower or run -p64 -n3 in a stable
way, please tell me ;)
Otherwise I'm pretty happy with it. One flaw I noticed on my particular
piece is that when I turn the output all the way down, at the end the
right channel goes quiet first. This appears only on the very quietest
settings, so it's not a real issue for me.

I'm considering buying a USB Audio interface from thomann.de, can
anyone reccommend one that's under 100 or 200 euro that works
under linux?

I own a Edirol UA-25 and am very happy with it, alas it does not
seem to be available from thomann.de.
My experience with that device is very good
(although I only used
the former Edirol version). A good feature is that it is completely
USB powered (without significant distortion).
Indeed, even with the built-in phantom power it is. The Hi-Z switch is
also very handy; and it has pretty good pre-amps. On top of that the
device is very robust. All in all it's IMHO one of the best /cheap/
sound-cards.
Compared to the UA-25 the UA-25 EX CW also includes an analog
compressor. Given that it only has one knob (for the threshold), I
doubt it's very useful. FWIW the limiter on the UA-25 is similarly
useless. The new ground-Lift feature seems handy, though.
It works with no problems, and I did not even
notice any problems
with 24bit mode and full duplex (at least the driver or jack are not
complaining). My colleague reported problems with the "Advanced
mode" on Windows.
~2 years ago it only worked in "Advanced Mode" with Linux ;) - I never
flicked that switch to off.
It works with `jackd ... -r48000 -p64 -n3` ~4ms latency; `jdelay`
reports 440 frames@48kSpS round-trip without x-runs.
