The Scarlett is I think a particular good option for someone who wants a mic interface to double as a hifi headphone interface. Maybe some marketing puffery, but they at least make an effort to market to that demographic, with some specific emphasis on their headphone amp circuitry.

I've had cutting out/crashing issues with a couple of different mic interfaces I've used, which I suspect may be power-related, being limited to USB power. That's namely Rode's mic interface (the AI-1) and the GoXLR mini. The Rode would just switch itself off sometimes when i had my headphones plugged into it, and the GoXLR had maddening issues with intermittent audio dropouts.
