Confused members get help with their pro audio questions

Very confused with Guitar Sounds

Hey, i've been recording for about a year now, so i'm still learning a lot everyday. I invested a lot of money last year for high quality equipment (I am going to college next year for sound engineering) to get started early and to record my band. I've been getting great quality drum tracks and sweet vocal sounds, but I just cannot get any decent guitar sounds.

Choosing an audio interface. Dazed and confused

How does one make a decision on this stuff? So many different points of views.

Do Behringer really make the best cards for the low price range, or are they a complete waste of time? And is the Behringer BCA 2000 better than the ESP 1010?
Is the Firebox as good as they say it is?
Are EMU cards really unreliable these days?

I'm lost...
:?

Confused about cables and diffs. between Hi Z/Lo Z

I've just begun to record outside of the virtual realm and now that I've started to work with outboard gear such as pre's, mics and guitars I'm unsure of which cables to use for which applications. Please, indulge me:

-Are all TRS 1/4 cables suitable for balanced inputs/outputs? What are the differences between balanced & unbalanced?
