All three are good, and both will record vocals and music fine.
The main difference between them is that you will have to run and maintain any computer running cubase or cakewalk, if you can do this then you should be fine with either. I would also add the recomendation of Logic Audio to your list, produced by Emagic.

I would point out that:

1: The roland VS-*880 will travel, the computer is harder to take around.

2:Think about what you will be using the recorder with, if your allready have studio equipment then you need to make sure you can use it with what ever you buy.

3:Computer based recording setups have almost unlimited combinations. Some people like to be able to use faders in front of them others don`t mind having it on a computer screen. Effects as well can be external rack effects of software running on the machine.

4: Think about how much money you want to spend, and get quotes from people for computer systems.

5: It is not an absolute must but getting your PC custom built for music is the best idea, they will build load the software and test it all for you.

I hope that helps some.....I have used both Logic Audio and a Roland VS-880....

Please email me if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them......
