To get rid of xruns during a recording you could try

Recording and mixing with different latency works when using Ardour,
but not necessarily when using other DAWs. You could stay with one
latency, if you're using monitoring that is independent of the
software. Hardware monitoring could be very useful.
How I tend to see it is based on what is working up to now, and what is
the problem to solve/make better. Everything worked fine apart from
when recording acoustic guitar. Barely an xrun, maybe one each 3
months. Things went smoothly. Synths were OK. Now the buffer is
reduced to 256 and that is nice for recording acoustic guitar. But the
synths do not like it and things are a bit rough. I am now trying 512.
512 is borderline for guitar recording. Better than 1024. Synths are
seemingly happy. Please note that I haven't read any documentation
yet !
Hardware monitoring is also to be considered. I'll try more on this
tomorrow.
