I was going to go with the Digidesign 003 Factory, but then realized that it only has one ADAT input, meaning that one preamp will go into the ADAT

Well, not necessary. ADAT Lightpipe passes 8 channels at 44.1 so you'd be able to send 8 preamps to into a 003 via ADAT.

the second will have to be outputed through the 25pin jack output into the jack inputs of the 003, resulting in considerable quality loss

I HIGHLY doubt that "considerable" is the right word here. I'd say that "neglible" or "not quite neglible" is probably a better word unless the 003 has dramatically crappier converters than my Presonus Firestudio or my Delta 1010s.

The other option I could choose to go with is the RME fireface 800 as the audio interface, which has 2 ADAT inputs for both preamps.

You mean 16 preamps, not "both", right?
