None of those will give you high quality sound imho. If you're serious about recording you're better off getting one of the Emu soundcards. They offer great sound quality for their price (you'd have to spend double to better it) and you should still be able to enjoy your general windows sound usage and games etc with it.

It's all relative of course. What's your budget?

 

I use an Asus Xonar Essence ST and absolutely love it. It sounds great out of the box (It'll blow your Realtek HD away), but if you want to tweak it you can replace the op-amps. I upgraded from a Creative labs Audigy 2 to the Xonar, and haven't looked back. I don't know how the more modern Creative cards sound though.

 

A word or warning though - there aren't any 3.5mm connectors on the card; It has full sized Mic and headphone ports, and a pair of RCAs to connect to your amp or speakers. What sort of sources/speakers would you be using?
