Purchasing new mixer - would like opinions.

I'm in the process of researching purchasing a higher quality mixer for both FOH and monitor (one stop shop) than I've been using (Mackie 32.4) and wondered if I could get some comments from any of you with experience with the following brands/models. I am not currently mixing stereo IEMs, and usually only run 4 monitor mixes.

ABOUT YAMAHA 01V MIXER

HI!
I am new to this forum. I just got a new Yamaha 01v Digital mixer that I am trying to hook up to my PC for a direct recording to my hard drive instead of going to an external ADAT recorder. My question is how do I get the PC and Mixer to talk to one another and what would be the ideal card that I'll be needing for the mixer and the PC?

Which choice of mixer (RCA/1/4' jacks vs. . USB and firewall)

:( 1. I need suggestions regarding what kind of mixer to purchase (for under $200) for my little home set up. I want one that has a relatively simple learning curve. I am not that great at this.

I contacted musician’s friend and they suggested one with a USB and firewall. I barely know how to set up the one with the RCA and ¼ cables.
