Recording bowed strings with Crown GLM's

Any tips on mic placement etc. please for recording bowed strings (folk fiddles, cello) with Crown GLM subminiature mics? Reason is I've got a some GLM-100s and a 200 for gigs, and I read that the Turtle Island String Quartet recorded their 1st CD using GLM's. For gigs I wedge the pop shield between the strings back of the bridge or velcro them to the bottom of the tailpiece.

Audiophile 2496 or Creative Audigy 2 Platinum Pro(External)

I have these two choices of buying Audiophile 2496 or Creative Audigy 2 Platinum Pro(External)...but i dont know which one would be better for recording and making music on my computer. i live in canada, and the price of audiophile is $125, and the price for the creative one is $199 or so. but u get soo much stuff with the creative one(external unit,card and remote control).
