I've never had a problem with the iMic, and I use it on just about the most slow-ass setup you can imagine, a Rev. B iMac.

Griffin has a higher-end product, a combination USB input/output box with amplifier that they sell for around $80.  Just posted on Apple's deals page is:

http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/AudiophUSB/

which has:
2 pairs of line-level audio inputs (unbalanced 1/4" and RCA) 
2 line-level audio outputs (RCA) with level control knob 
2-channel S/PDIF digital I/O (coaxial) 
AC3 and DTS surround support via digital output* 
1x1 MIDI I/O 
headphone output (1/4" TRS) with level control knob 
AC-powered for high performance A/D and D/A

That's a good bit of functionality for only $199, with free postage.
