RAID suggestions?

["Michael S. Peek" <peek@tiem.utk.edu>]

Hello gurus,

I have built a couple of large storage servers using 16-24 HDDs 
connected to 3ware controllers, and so far it's worked pretty well.  I 
chose 3ware because it was supported by the linux kernel out of the box. 
 Although I'm not terribly satisfied with the managing software, the 
RAIDs themselves have ticked over without a hitch for years.

But now I'm looking to build replacement servers and I thought I would 
ask what the community uses for it's hardware RAID, and why?
