What I/O hardware are you using or upgrading to with CS5.5?

I've had a serious love/hate relationship with my Matrox Axio LE due to instability, bugs and poor support the past 4 years and now that CS5.5 is here, Matrox is no longer offering drivers for my card. I'm reluctant to replace the Axio with their newer Matrox MXO2 because I just don't want to rely on Matrox anymore - but the enhanced h.264 encoding and hdmi in/out are enticing.

So I'm curious what I/O hardware people are using or planning to use with Premere CS5.5 - Windows or cross-platform. I mostly work with AVCCAM, R3D and uncompressed/prores 1080p Quicktimes. Thanks for any tips!
 
We have several workstations here with Black Magic hardware and we swear by it.

Excellent price and signal quality.

I've been reading up on Blackmagic, trying to find which product will be best for my needs. I am impressed with their advanced closed captioning in Premiere as an added bonus too.
 
We use BM hardware since years here in everyday postproduction work - only once had a instability problem with a Decklink.
Reason was a too weak power supply in the workstation.
