I can recommend the Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 FireWire card. And yes you can use multiple soundcards, with FireWire you can daisy-chain them. With PCI cards like the M-Audio Delta 1010 you can add as much cards as you have slots available and you should be able to use multiple cards at once. USB is not an option, at the moment there are basically no supported USB2 soundcards with that much IO.

Depends on your price range, but the M-Audio Delta 1010 is popular. For a bit more money (and more inputs) the RME cards are supposed to be good.
