preamp for ribbon mics

Hi all. I've got a friend who recently did a factory-direct buy of some Chinese mics. He's holding a pair of ribbon mics (they're un-branded, but the same as the rectangular bodied Avantone ribbons) for me. The price is right, but I'm wondering about the cheap pre's I have, and if they will cut it with a pair of ribbons.

Hooking up another mic preamp to a 003.

I am basically wondering if hooking up a preamp via lightpipe to my 003 involves anything more than simply plugging it in and seeing the inputs in Pro Tools. Also, on a totally unrelated note, is it a good idea to track in Pro Tools, while mixing in another program, such as cubase, or will that not work? The reason I ask is because I have a greater selection of plugins on my Cubase rig.
