I have no idea concerning MPU-401 compatibility, and from what I've heard
on computers running both cards neither one sounds any more "noisy" than
the other.

However, if I were you, I would get the PAS-16.  Two reasons:
1) It can do 44kHz STEREO, the SB-pro can do 22 stereo or 44 mono.
2) It has a 16-bit SCSI host adapter on it, which right there is an added
$150 or so value... you can hook up a cd-rom, scsi HD, etc...

All the above is IMO.
