I'd go with a LSI card, they have traditionally had very good unix/linux 
support, and excellent performance.   A number of bad experiences with 
older Adaptec products have permanently soured me on them.   The big 
Unix server vendors (Sun, etc) use LSI Logic SCSI extensively (LSI's 
SCSI division was formerly Symbios, AT&T Tolerant, and NCR before that)
