Most onboard controllers are pretty lackluster, and those that use fake raid are obviously pretty hokey.

I hope you don't dislike HP's controllers designed for the its servers, like the P800 etc, as they are using the same chip as your preferred controller :) The e/p line of smart array controllers have been the most rock solid controllers (including my OE LSI's like the one you mention) I have ever used.
