If possible go with the UMC22 instead because it has the MIDAS preamps which sound better, and according to what I've heard from tests and reviews the Microphone/Preamp combo (USB) is always inferior.

The UMC202HD is the lowest I recommend as the UM2 and UMC22 have very poor driver support for music production and terrible headphone amplifier implementation.
If you just want to get the XLR int your PC though the UM2 is fine.

ah you're right, they don't have proper drivers like the UMC202HD, but it's still difficult to recommend a more expensive product for a microphone like that, it shouldn't be an issue to use ASIO4ALL for non-latency sensitive projects and it depends if that's enough for him, same with the headphone amplifier problem you mentioned
