I love the FaderFox UC44! It is a central part of my rig. You have direct access to 16 faders, 16 buttons, and 16 banks of 8 encoders (with two functions each: twist and press). And if you use the “shift” feature (I don’t) you get double that. – If any of you do go the FaderFox route, I’ve got some software I wrote for programming it, and an improved Ableton Live Remote Script in the works.
