It depends a lot for what you need the audio.

For myself (as non musician or audio editing person) the two main reasons for having sound card in classic Amiga are:

1. playing mp3 files without cpu-load with full quality
2. having a mixer for Paula, CD-ROM, TV-card and AHI-audio.

I have both PCI and Zorro bus in my Amiga and sound card is Delfina Lite. Soundblaster wouldn't do the 1. thing, so that's why I prefer Zorro cards. Delfina Lite was cheap when I got it... if the money wouldn't have been the issue, then I'd got Delfina Plus instead

Paula is bit faster for games etc, so I use it for those. Only music needs the better quality IMHO.

Sampling is also easy and good quality with sound cards, but never actually needed it

if you have a picasso iv in your amiga then you can do 1 and 2 with the mp3@64!

it uses clockport so fits in amiga 1200/600. i have a kickflash thing in my a4000 which has a clockport on it so i use that.
