As long as you are not doing software monitoring (i.e. listening to what you are recording through Ardour, while recording it), you don't need low latency at all, and might not need anything beyond linux-generic.
Is this true in all cases, even when using plugins and soft-samplers? What about if you're sending some of your audio outboard through a mixer for processing in the hardware world?
The reason I ask is because I am doing monitoring in hardware on an RME Multiface II, but I'm also sending some channels out to a mixer and bringing them back. Also at the same time I'm using plugins. I've got my Jack latency setup to show up in QJackCtl as about 5ms, but it'd be nicer for the computer if I could use a bigger buffer and not worry about it.
