Digital audio and midi aren't the same things at all.
Any audio that's on your computer is digital.

But yea, having midi capabilities is nice if you plan on using a midi controller or doing any midi editing. I wouldn't say midi capabilities is a necessity for someone who's just planning on recording audio and sequencing the clips. Multi-track capability and good editing & sequencing features should be the focus in that scenario.

I'm planning on purchasing a keyboard within the next couple weeks. I would like to hook it up to a loop station and eventually edit on the computer. I noticed you can go with MIDI keyboards, or Digital keys with MIDI compatibility. What do you think about this and got any suggestions good sir?

Well, the good thing about a digital keyboard with MIDI capabilities is you get two different uses out of it. 1 being a MIDI controller/keyboard for any other hardware or software you have, and 2 being the actual function of the keyboard itself.
The issue would be price in that scenario, and if you're not planning on using a keyboard apart from employing it as a MIDI controller, they you're better off paying less with buying a plain old MIDI controller.
That's all obvious stuff, but I thought I'd mention it.

As far as functionality, both would work for what you're generally trying to do.
What are the specifics of the loop station?
