I guess long-term depends on what you're planning to use it for long-term.
I have both the Avid Cinema USB  and the XLR8 Interview products.  Each has
its strengths and weaknesses, but I'd pick the Interview if I had to choose
only one.

Interview is more flexible in terms of how I can use it.  I can easily move
the footage into Premiere and work with it there.  I can use it in After
Effects as well.  Avid Cinema footage can be moved, but it's not quite as
simple because you capture in Avid's format and not in QuickTime.  The
software that comes with Interview (Strata VideoShop) is pretty good, and
you can upgrade to the latest version for under $100.

For my money, Interview is the way to go for low-cost capture and
manipulation for content targeted at the web.
