From experience, 3Ware has the best support for hardware SATA RAID on Linux,
whether on kernel 2.4 or 2.6. Their drivers have been included in most distros for a very long time, and even the latest 9xxx cards are fully supported out of the box, or with drivers you can freely download from 3Ware web site. We use their cards on several production servers, including a few that have 12 SATA drives for massive 3TB storage solutions. I don't recall ever having problems with their cards or support.

What he said. 8-) 3Ware is the way to go. I've been using thier cards w/linux for 5+ years w/nary a problem.
