In my experience, the ADC is far from the limiting factor for linearity in an SDR receiver. The analog components up front (LNA and mixer, especially) are the limiting components. Broadband front ends make it even worse, because it's more likely you'll have an interferer passed through the filtering, even if it's nowhere near (in frequency) your signal.
