Lynx / RME would be excellent options - no harm in getting the Juli@ as well

Juli@ at such a low cost ~$150 is still a great choice for digital output (up to 24/192) - amazing value and easy to use. I won't use it for analogue outs. It's a quality product (both hw & sw - esp ASIO) - make sure you use its latest unified beta drivers (version 0.979).

I also have the EMU1212M - good hardware & specs but I find its software drivers are poor (latency is limited to 2ms, sw is bulky and slow). EMU is doing a 'Vista' version of its drivers which would be better and should work for XP.

My experience suggests quality of XOs on these cards are very good at ~20ps (similar to Lynx's jitter spectrum - added graph below from the link you provided). It's what happens around the soundcard that causes instability (leading to jitter).
