Ideally I would like the same capture quality as the PVR350 and onboard capture hardware encoding. Also, I'm hoping that whatever I get plays nicely with the PVR350.

Looking at that last remark, I believe the best way to go is a PVR250.
All you need to do is place the card, edit the modules.conf (add 'alias
char-major-81-1 ivtv' or something) , run depmod -a, run the myth setup
programme, restart mythbackend.
Only drawback: I have seen a PVR 250 undera 100 bucks.
On the other hand, if you have a pretty modern system (i.e. > PentIII
1GHz) you could try a 'dumb' card (withou hardware compression) from
another vendor.
