Greetings Rob, Of course it always depends on your needs, but on each station we use a Behringer X32 rack, which is in itself a console however it gives you 32 in and 32 outs via usb which can easily be configured as 16 stereo in and outs or a combination of stereo and mono. It works a charm and can be used with alsa or jack all for less than 1100 bucks. Plus you can control all channel mutes, level, via macros from rivendell.
May not be a solution for everyone but 32 io's for less than 1100 is a good deal.
