Both are excellent.  The Personus has a little bit better dynamic range
so it handles strong signals better but both are about equal in
receiving weak signals.

The Personus has a nice mic preamp and the firewire, although not as
fast as PCI is very convenient since it can be used on laptops and
desktops.

You'll need to do a personal cost benefit analysis to see if the
firewire at twice the price is right for you.

Tim stated it well.  A short list of advantages for each follows:

M-Audio Delta 44 ($159): 
  Price
  PCI interface (fast/low CPU overhead)
  Break Out Box moves cables 

PreSonus FireBox ($299.95):
  Slightly better Dynamic Range (~5dB top end -- large signal handling
capability)
  XLR Mic Inputs (also 1/4 balanced inputs)
  Adjustable Mic Preamp
  Front panel adjustable headphone jack.
  FireWire (1394) lends portability for laptops.
