I do use both LSI and 3ware.
Both are now owned by Avago. (Not sure when that happened, last I looked LSI was its own company.)
For me big advantage of 3ware is transparent interface. By which I mean web interface. There is command line interface for both and 3ware command line interface may be less confusing for me.
I find the 3ware CLI a little clunky but easy to understand. I find the LSI CLIs (both MegaCLI and storcli) incredibly confusing, and the GUI interface is not intuitive (and I think doesn't expose all the information about the controller; the Nagios LSI plugin found errors that I could find no trace of in the GUI).
Sorry for long comment. I did feel 3ware deserves more respect than one might draw from this thread otherwise.
Agreed; I'll share some of my experiences in another post.
