It depends what kind of system you're looking to stream from. I, for instance, stream mainly content from either my PC, PS3, or Wii U, so I have a HDMI based capture card, the Elgato Game Capture HD. It's a pretty penny, though, but the quality is fantastic. If you're looking to stream from something like a PS2, or any standard definition device, then there are plenty of capture cards available that are cheap as chips, too, that produce a quality equal to that of the output!

If you play older consoles I recommend a dazzle. That's what I use for all my streams, now any game that was built with HD in mind will make the game look uglier in SD.
Dazzle has audio support in OBS, on xsplit you have to use a workaround method to get the audio like using VAC or a USB Sound adapter.

I have the HDPVR2 so far I don't have any problems with it. Although it does have a random power cycle which I fixed. So I'm guessing something is bugged in my program or in the Twitch servers. I was speed running Kingdom Hearts and my whole stream just crashed and I was forced to restart my stream.
