It depends on the software you'll be running. It could be either P3 or T-Bird optimized (SSE vs. 3DNOW!). If the software hasn't been optimized for either, then go with a T-Bird since its raw FPU is superior to P3.

Probably a Celron 566 or a P3 700 (100 mhz fsb). The Athlon/Duron platform is great, but not for recording. You are looking at cutting your options for recording cards by about 2/3. Not a good thing.
