I'll start another thread about that though as I've several more questions regarding setups.
Thanks for for the advice, I'm thinking a DI box probably won't be necessary but might be useful in conjunction with how I plug other gear into the mixer.

Assuming passive DI's are relatively cheaper I think I'd prefer a decent passive to a crappy active.
I agree that something like the Para DI is an excellent bit of kit and for something you'll be using as part of your normal set-up, worth it - but there's no reason to spend that much on a backup you'll use rarely, when a cheap one will do.
In fact passive transformer-based ones often sound better for running electric guitar equipment into a PA than even higher-quality active ones do. Actives tend to be better for acoustic instruments, and essential if the instrument isn't preamped.
