PA speakers could function as monitors for your instrumental takes but won't give you what you need for accurate mixdown. the board would be useful for patching and tone control on your recorded sounds, but you'd wanna put it into your recorder via line-in to avoid two preamps in your signal chain. you would definitely want headphones for your open-mike vocal tracks unless you want everything else bleeding into your track.

i'm no expert, though — just someone experienced in finding ways to make jackleg rigs work. i'm sure the more savvy folk around here can give you more specific advice.
