We typically use National Instruments' cards because they are well supported 
by Comedi and we've never had a problem with them.  They typically run a 
little more expensive than equal cards of other brand, however.  Measurement 
Computing, another company we use, sells almost identical cards as NI but at 
a lower price - many are supported by Comedi, others may need driver 
modifications.

The most basic NI card is the PCI-6023 and it runs for $395; it will do 
everything you want except for the AO.  The PCI-6024 adds in two channels of 
AO for an additional $200.  Prices go up from there based on higher sampling 
frequencies and jumping to 16 bit AI.
