Get the DR-1 if you want to use internal mics to record your practices.
If you want to stick to low budget, DR-07
should have the same specs as DR-1 with the advantage of smaller size. I don't know if this has been verified with a side-by-side test, but that's the theory here...
You can rule out the MTII and Yamaha anyway. Internals are substandard for live use compared to the DR series.
