I've been researching mixers, reading reviews, etc. IMHO the best at a reasonable price point for performance and build quality are the Mackie 402-VLZ3 ( under $100) and the Mackie 802-VLZ3 ( under $200 ).
Many recording engineers on another site have said these are excellent for the money. So if I were to buy one now it would be one of the above. Probably the 802 as it has a lot more capability.
