I went external, it give me easy access to hook up different bits of kit, and easy level controls. don't think you will find noticeabley better quality from choosing an internal card. have got an external card as well, but in terms of cpu-load there is a difference between an internal pci or pci-E ...

you might want to avoid cutting too much of the low end of your sounds, warmth is typically generated between 50 and 100 hz, so cut of the sub-bass but not all the bass,..

this is what I find works better than traditional sequencing for getting 'energy' Patch every parameter to as much midi as you can make sense of, play around untill you're getting a feel for it, hit record and just jam out a tune.
