You need a question mark on the end for some people to understand its a question (reads like a statement). Personally the Eleven rack looks amazing and if that had of been out at the time i bought my mbox 2 i think i would have gone for it because i do prefer the flexibility of having all the sounds in one box as oppose to having to buy mics to get the sound, and for me sound level is an issue, you'd have to ask people on their opinion on the actual sound quality, but from what I've heard/read seems people like it.

Well, considering that the Eleven Rack is a full guitar amp and effects modeling unit, and the Mbox Pro is an interface, I guess by default the Eleven Rack would be "better" for guitarists, assuming they like amp modelers.
The Mbox 3 is a better interface, has actual mic preamps, etc.

I play guitar. I wouldn't buy either at this point.

Yeah my bad I meant to put a question mark but I mistyped on my iPhone.
So if neither of these audio interfaces than which one should I get? I currently have none at this point and I'm looking for a good personal recording audio interface. The Mbox 3 pro, from recent reviews I've read, seems to do the really well. But other reviews say that the eleven rack is also good as well. So this is a tough decision for what my first audio interface should be. So which audio interface would be good for personal recording?

What are you planning on recording? Guitars? Vocals? Drums? Hand drums? Chirping European Swallows?

Do you currently have any equipment? Any microphones? Mixers? Preamps? Guitar amplifiers? PODs? Pedals?

Give up some information and we can maybe help you.
