Be careful with the Sil chips, some of them will not support certain HDD's at the HW level. I had a problem with Maxtor DiamondMax10 300GB SATA150 disks. My Sil controller would not support staggered spin up and the drives simply wouldn't power on.
3Ware are very reliable.
You're definitely preaching to the choir about 3Ware. :) Just trying to offer an alternative. I hadn't heard about those types of problems with the SiL-based cards.
