Ubuntu Studio would probably be the best route. It has the low latency kernel enabled by default. It also has the audio programs you'd want installed by default. Don't know aything about the Focusrite Saffire, but I haven't been...

ABF, you actually need to use OSX for a week or so to realize how rock solid stabile it is. Last week was a crazy work week for me and I never had a chance to boot into Linux. Just threw the machine into suspend with all my apps...
