Depends on how many inputs you need vs how much capability you need on each vs how much vertical rack space you can afford to take up....
When you say you might need to mix a band some time, to ME that says a mixer that has at least 8 mic inputs and 3 band EQ.. and sweepable mids would be great.. and you can have all that for fairly low money, by getting a mixer that is made to mainly sit flat then rack mounting it.. and it'll take a LOT of space. Or you can pay a bunch of money and get something like an Ashley MX508 But if you don't have too much need to do real mixing except in a pinch, then the Denon mentioned will do it.. personally I hate Denon.. so maybe I'd prefer an Alesis Multimix 10 or 12R. Don't love that either, but it's acceptable. Of course Behringer makes one........ Unfortunately most buyers of rack mixers with EQ's are pro audio users who are willing to pay a lot of money for something nice.. so not too many nice middle of the road choices for this one....
