If you are only looking for "medium" performance I'd go with vinum.
Spend the cash you save on the raid controler on seperate scsi
controlers for the OS disk and the data controlers and get high
rpm drives for the data volumes.
Also turn on soft updates in the kernel. It won's speed up writes or reads
but it will improve create/delete performance and it'll let the system
recover more easily in the event of a power crash.
