If you're looking for something more like the first you'd probably do well finding a forum of sound engineers or buddying up to one to ask about mid-grade options.
If you're thinking more like the second, then it doesn't matter so much. The home PC sound card market nearly killed itself off years ago and has been limping along since. The tech behind them seems to be pretty stagnant - correct me if I'm wrong here audio nerds - and you're better off focusing on the tech you actually want to hook up and buying a card that will support whatever physical ports you find you're going to need.

Really late for the game (only just managed to log in with my old account), but I am kinda curious as to what you had gotten. I still have a couple of cards, but they are gathering dust in my storeroom as I'd replaced them with external DAC combos as music appreciation has taken center stage for me (don't game as much as I used to). I use a number of headphones and a pair of Rokit5 G3's when I don'tfeel like using my cans.
