The previous replies are spot on, and you should follow them. But assuming you're building the "best possible" DAW platform and don't need help with that, my recommendation for a "best possible" audio interface would be an RME Babyface Pro. Pricey for sure, but it will meet any likely need for a long while. Happy building!
