depends whats importand for you
if you're into gaming SB card is prolly the better choise with hardware DSP and EAX HD support.
but if gaming isnt that importand any Envy24HT based soundcard will beat the Audigy 2 ZS big time when it comes to music/movie playback and sound quality. and perosnally i dont like the huge and buggy creative drivers

i have a SMP system so i cant use a creative card (creative cards are like a virus for SMP systems). now using M-Audio Revolution 7.1 and the system runs rocksolid.
must say that i dont really hear much difference while gaming between an Audigy 2 or M-Audio both do theire job just fine.
