How big is the data block for each read-write?  For large blocks
RAID-Z is likely to perform nearly as well as stripped disks (e.g. 3
disks RAID-Z is slightly slower than 2 disk stripped, but would be
much better than single disk pool).  Typically copying data would use
larger data blocks.

For smaller writes it's likely to have worse results.

How will a "landing pad" help when let's say we have 10GigE or even
faster network connection?
