I wouldn't recommend the RocketRaid. We have a few of them here; they work ok, but Highpoint, who makes them, are *not* really great about updating drivers once the card's out their door. The last one we put back into service, I had to find the last source code they had for that card, several years old, and then fix the code before I could compile it. (At least it was in C).
Second on MegaRAID. The ones we have here are the Dell rebranded PERCs, and we've never had trouble, except with ones nearly 10 years old.
We have one really old Dell rack server with a PERC. Works like a charm with CentOS.
I'm thinking I should ask my bosses for more budget and get a real linux-certified server instead... 8-[
