I have found the most complete and versatile option for 'recording the band' scenarios is a stand alone multi track recorder such as the Tascam DP-24. It is a rock solid performer. Free of glitches. Portable. Will record up to 8 tracks simultaneously. Has punch in capability. Very, very easy to setup and operate.

It costs less than the other options you are looking at.

If your guitar is in tune, you can be recording a song before you can turn on a computer and open your recording program. It comes with onboard effects and dynamics. No drivers, Asio's or compatibility issues. Easily transfer files by SD card or USB.

If you can operate a cassette deck, you can operate a DP-24. Recording is really as simple as firing it up, arming tracks, setting levels and recording.

In your case, you could simply record your tracks and overdubs to the DP-24, move the SD card to your computer and import the tracks into your DAW. It's possible you would not need any of the advanced editing or effects features of the DP-24.

I prefer the DP-24 over the DP-32 because the features and differences between the two units do not add enough value to justify the cost difference. They are essentially the same other than mixer track count. Recording inputs, software and features are otherwise identical.
