Unless you're allergic to IDE, I'd strongly consider the 3ware ATA cards;
for RAID0 and RAID1 it's impossible to beat them on price/performance,
and they have FreeBSD native management tools in beta right now.
For SCSI RAID; I am still working on management. I really, really need
volunteers for this though; my time just isn't enough for this.
