I made very bad experience with Focusrite's windows driver. No problem with OSX though.
Easiest way to record is via SPDIF, a very good interface is the Roland Quad Capture... a little bit more expensive then the 2i2 but imho it's worth it:

Haven't checked the ESI though. But when using SPDIF the quality is always the same.
