I use the Griffin iMic.  There are only a couple of USB->analog audio
chips, and the Griffin uses the same one as most of the "high-end"
products such as the Roland and, I suspect, the "Stereo-Link".

The iMic costs $35 and provides wonderful sound quality.  Give it a
try!  You may need a powered USB hub to put the iMic in a convenient
location and avoid a long analog audio cable run, but even with one
the iMic should end up costing less than anyone else's product of
similar quality.
