I would use the SB32 over the SB16, somewhere. According to the below it has OPL chip,
AWE32 with RAM and OPL?
SB32,AWE32,64's are for the most part act like a SB16, (digital sound) so why limit yourself unnecessary?
I agree the P2 Duel boot PC is the better choice.

SB16 is more era correct for a DX2 and games realised round that time, and is 99% backward compatible.
I would only use the SB Pro if you ran into any compatibility problems with a game
You don't have an external Midi device so hanging note bug is a non issue for you.

The non creative cards I don't know anything about, Could be fun to find out for yourself and post back? had a few people here in the last year or 2 rediscovering unknown gems

FWIW, my thinking was to use the board with an EMU chip in a dedicated Windows PC if the 486 is mainly used for DOS and there's only one SB32 in inventory. It'll work fine, but it might provide more benefit in another machine.
