If you really want to go with a HW controller, try Areca or the high- end 3Ware models.
Well, for non Solaris/non file servers, hardware raid is easiest. I am hesitant to go with Areca (looks like cheap tw stuff). I have always used LSI stuff but found them slow as hell, I am pretty sure the hp sa's are LSI chips...
Yes they are LSI but with serious firmware re-work by HP.

Wonder what's in store for 3ware now that LSI owns them...
