If I was mostly recording live material I would be inclined to go with the dedicated recorder. They're more portable and probably more reliable. With Sonar you'll have to lug around a computer or laptop, and some kind of breakout box for your audio inputs. Sonar is a very stable program, but Windows has its moments and I'd hate to have to reboot or have it hang in the middle of a recording. Now if you want to incorporate MIDI tracks or audio tracks in the performance, then I'd go with Sonar.
