they are all the same. I have used NEC, VIA, and something else that i don't remember, they are all the same. (never used adaptec, or belkin)

I would recommend Adaptec, simply for the probability of longer support lifetime vs. Belkin, who primarily manufactures cables.
 
Although they probably do use a similar chipset, and most new(er) OS's have native support or patches to add USB 2.0 support, my opinion stays the same.

Belkin AFAIK is overpriced Chinese garbage! Especially their cables!

Belkin is the best IMHO. They are very compatible as their chip uses the Nec chipset and fast too.
