Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
You seem to have narrowed it down to Steinberg UR44 and Audient ID22. The Audient is a little "better" in terms of conversion but I'd give the UR44 the win in terms of the drivers. The last update of the Audient drivers really didn't do much for the performance and I've found the Steinberg/Yamaha drivers to be good across the range.
Zoom UAC might well have the best driver performance of the sub-£200 USB audio interfaces that I've tried.
Does it not make a difference to how say a complex reverb plugin is applied to the track one would think.
yep it does, it has a HiZ in for the guitar output to the interface from a balanced line level XLR, into the XLR on the front of the interface. You then run a cable back via a line level TRS output on the back of the interface (i guess one of the secondary pair of line level outputs) back into the Reload which has a balanced TRS input, then a standard instrument level output on the back of the Reload is patched to the input of the amp.
the German guy seemed to have issues getting anything to output at all from the interface. He eventually managed to but then it stopped working again the next day.
Now, I'd have thought it would have been a matter of routing the input to the interface for direct monitoring (via one of the secondary line outs...?) and setting for record and monitor. Not that i know how this works on a practical level. But anyway, this is what he claims he did, and he still had issues.
That said, low latency performance isn't great so @Heartfeltdawn is correct about the driver situation. That was a little disappointing for me, coming from RME's drivers.

Cirrus, i thought the return jacks couldn't be used simultaneously with the XLR's. As you say, it bypasses the MIC preamps. So I couldn't have both XLR's occupied with, for example, the Reload's DI and Loadbox XLR outs run into the XLR's in the back of the ID22, whilst simultaneously having a stereo line level signal run from the amps slave out going into the "Return" jack sockets, could I?
There's a direct monitoring function isn't there? with basically zero latency? So i could send the Dry DI signal from the reload HiZ input into the ID22 and straight out one of the line level outs, back to the Reload re-amp function. That means i can hear my actual amp whilst recording a dry signal for reamping. I think? you can record on and direct monitor the same track right?
I mean, the re-amping thing might not be something i do very often anyway but if i want to do it, i'd like to know its a piece of equipment that plays nice with the Reload.
It's the capability to have multiple sources running into the ID22 simultaneously that i'd really like to have.
But, you know, recording newb, so my expectations of what these units can do, may not be in line with what these units can actually do.
You mean Wall of Sound?

Yes, i want to record my amp direct with the Torpedo Reload plugged between amp and cab, then use WOS to Cab and Mic up the dry signal(s).
A vid of the Torpedo Reload in use with the UR44? Can you link me? the German thread i found was having difficulty using the re-amp feature with the UR44 and Torpedo Reload combo
