Default what usb interface?

hi!
i have a question. I would like to use a usb interface with a ibook for mobile recording.
I just need one stereo in and a stereo out/headphone out and thats the reason i want a usb and not a firewire interface because the firewire interfaces all got more i/o´s..
i don´t REALLY need mic pres in my usb interface because i got a mm-1 from sound devices, but it would be nice.. (i don´t know how good the converters of the mm-1 are compared to others..)
now the apogee mini me is a little bit too expensive...
I´m not using pro tools, but i´m thinking of buying a mbox or a usbpre from sound devices. these too seems to be the best usb interfaces (after the mini me...). What would you do? buy a mbox because of his sound quality (converters/mic pres) or are the other more low budget usb interfaces good as well, and the mbox is just good if you wont to record in pro tools? is anybody knowing if the mm-1 pres are better than the mic pres from the mbox?
how compars the usb pre to the mbox? (especially the converters?)
thanks for all answers!
cheers
