I don't know why, but this has made me want to get a behringer model interface/ preamp combo. I was just looking at Amazon for what they have I am seeing the UM2 for $80 a UMC204HD for the same price $80, and the UMC22 for $120. Which of those would be the most recommended if better than my current set up?

I think the problem with the UMC204HD is it's forced stereo. Maybe.
You're going to get a microphone on one side of a stereo show. None of these are mixers.
You have to hack your way past the ad-speak. "Two Channel" in the case of the UM2 means two inputs. I don't know they ever tell you whether it's a stereo device or not. So you have to go into each one's instruction books, propose connection scenarios and see where they fall apart.
You may never get there. I have a stereo USB device that simply vanishes if you tell Audacity it's mono.

I think most 2 channel interfaces are stereo only. You can usually only select per channel on >4 channel interfaces.
Possible exceptions:
Shure Motiv MVI (130$), includes a DSP:

Alesis Core 1 (50$?)

The Alesis could be available with a discount since it is already legacy. Check your favorite store.
