Dear Erin,
I am using a ua25ex, which has 2 combo xlr and quarter inch inputs. The right quater inch input also has a hi-z switch. It also have a phantom power switch. It has both 1/4 and RCA outs. You can record 2 tracks at a time.
It is great for recording.

I just got a Focusrite Saffire 6 USB, has everything you listed, and great pres for inputs. Running on Windows 7x64, no problems with anything, sounds great! Good luck!

gray , I own the same thing but it doesn't do everything required.. they wanted 2 mic pre's AND an instrument in
you can only have 2 mic's or 1 mic + instrument , not all 3 at once..
I would have mentioned the ua25ex.. but unless you unplug 1 mic.. again you can use 2 mic's or 1 mic + instrument.

My bad, I thought he meant 2 inputs that could be used as instrument or mic. I see he needs 3 now, sorry!

I've been talked into sticking with Firewire and bought a Focusrite Pro 14 to replace the M-Audio 1814.
