Unless you want to connect a standard serial connection to the board you'll end up having stacked level shifters.  The USB-to-Serial adapter has a USB chip plus an RS232 level shifter on it.  On you're board you'd typically put an RS232 level shifter downstream of the DB-9.  So, if you're always going to be using USB you end up with to RS232 level shifter that aren't required.  A couple of the devices listed above will take you directly from USB to TTL-level serial.
