A few things to consider:
- the analog to digital converter chip
- cd error correction and burn quality
The stand-alone unit would be simpler, but a computer allows for software processing the audio to remove unwanted noise. For a computer you would need a quality sound card (e.g. RME Audio or Lynx) and a better than average cd burner. For example, the Plextor Premium allows to specify the laser strength to create deeper pits when burning. One more thing, don't cheap out on cd blanks for the final recording. As you may know these scratch easily. I use MaxellPro. They use a triple-coated scratch resistant surface.
I have nothing to add for stand alone units. I don't have one.
