Depends what you want. If you want cheap, get just about any ISA card
from ESS Technologies. They're soundblaster compatibles, they work well,
and they're a little cheaper than SB cards.
If you want quality music synthesis, get a soundblaster AWE 32/64 card.
They have great wave table sound. I'm not aware of anyone that makes an
AWE-compatible card.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out that you have a hard time finding
these cards, since PCI is well established now and provides substantially
better performance, and AFAIK the cards I've mentioned are no longer in
production. But then again, I haven't been looking for an ISA card, so
there may still be plenty of them around.
