I have a Zoom H4n and a Sound Devices 744T and the 744T is a HUGE step up in sound quality. It is also on another level price wise too though.
Sound Devices have a solid reputation for reliability and sound quality for good reason. They are built like tanks too.
If it was my choice, I'd make no hesitation in going with the Mix Pre III. I don't think you'll regret it!
For mics, the Rode NT5 pair would be a solid decision in my opinion. I have my eye on a Rode Soundfield NT-SF1 Ambisonic mic right now. Rode recently purchased Soundfield and I've heard really good things about the NT-SF1, their first Soundfield release since the acquisition.
