I have two Peavey boards, a Mackie and two Behringers, among others, including both the boards recommended above. There is an American-generated mythology about Behringer gear, largely because it competes so well on price with overpriced American equivalents. (Indeed there are a number of lawsuits by American manufacturers, trying to prevent Behringer from selling in the US. They claim that Behringer have 'reverse engineered' their products; if they have, this is not illegal, as long as you don't infringe patents and don't try to pass them off as the original.) My experience (as opposed to hearsay) is that any mixer can break, but Behringer perform just as well as Peavey, at about half the price. The preamps and controls are clean and quiet, and my boards have taken years of live use (and occasional abuse) without complaint. Bear in mind also that the small Peavey mixers are all made in China, just like the Behringers.
The only desk I've had problems with is the Mackie, which is noisy,unreliable and very expensive to fix.
If you want something bespoke that will do the job really well, go where lots of the pros do; talk to Orchid Electronics, here and see what they can do for you. No financial interest, they're just good.
Hope this helps.
