I figured if I went 24io I'd run the pre's from the Presonus StudioLive out the Dsubs into the 24io.
So, A: is PCI better than Firewire, and B: does the PCIe vs. PCI make things drastically different?

What's currently wrong with your FireWire setup?
PCIe has the potential for lower latency versus FireWire in theory.
What do you expect to be "better"? Latency? Roundtrip latency is lower on PCIe, all things equal.
If you a registered owner of the 24 I/O, MOTU will do a swap for the PCI card to PCIe for a charge. Check out their website.
