well, try it. All USB audio devices have the same (driver) latency, so any will do as far as latency is concerned.
Check this site for some more setup hints: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Usb-audio
Especially "options snd-usb-audio nrpacks=1" can be useful. USB audio on Linux can give you pretty nice latencies with a rt-kernel. Instead of Jack, it may also be good to try "-oss" or "-alsa". In my (a bit old) experience, -oss worked better than -jack.
