8-bit DAC's are okay if you're capping from cable, digital cable feeds, VHS, or S-VHS.
10-bit is good if you capping from a HQ source like a DVD, Digital Camera, or any HQ source.
The difference shouldn't be that noticeable unless your eyes are keen.
Pixelmagic's advantage is that it can cap raw (or lossless) video while Snazzy's hardware limits you to using it's built-in hardware encoder. I'd rather cap raw (or lossless) and encode myself then be limited by my hardware. Any advantage the 10-bit DAC that Snazzy offers are taken away by the fact that it won't let you cap raw. I don't care if the hardware allows you to cap as high as 15mbps either, realtime hardware encoders simply aren't efficient.
However, if raw or lossless doesn't matter, then Snazzy should be fine.
