I often use the methods of GEM to have the files right there for further use, but performance wise just for recording on OSX i want to point to syphon + the simple syphon recorder.

Expensive, but if the former solutions are not viable, then it's the only way. For example you have a live performance with audio and your computer is on its limits CPU wise, so it would crash or crackle if you would run A) or B).
