Adaptec's aacraid controllers are horrible with kernel/bios matching.  
We currently have 30-some-odd Dell Poweredge 2650's with Perc3/Di 
controllers.  You can only run BIOS XXX with kernel YYY from Redhat 7.3 
and such (hence fedora-legacy -- ;-).  We hate them, and are planning on 
using LSI (megaraid series) from here on out.

As for IDE; we've used 3ware twice, and have been impressed.
