where to crank the gain up, Mixer, Interface, or on PC

Ok guys here is my setup Alesis 32 Mixer, MOTU 828 into my DAW. the 828 has gain knobs for all channels, but when I use these in conjunction with the trim knobs on the mixer I get a lot of noise. Should I just use the mixer preamps and not the MOTU's. It gets even more confusing when I am transfering my bands practice sessions from our Tascam 4-track > mixer > 828 > PC.

MOTU HD 192 or 2408 mk3?

I'm thinking about a new sound card(i own a MOTU 2408 mk2). Now, i don't really know which one I should to buy between the MOTU 2408 mk3 or the new MOTU HD 192( why high definition, wath that mean?).. Someone told me, even if i work with 96hz with the HD192 the sound it's gonna be much better because the HD have better converters.
