What RAID level?   

If you're after RAID-5, the 3Ware 9000-series. 

They're still probably the best ATA RAID cards you can get, and their 
linux support is rock-solid.

The 3Ware 8500-series is the SATA variant of the PATA 7500-series.  The 
9000-series adds gobs more cache and is generally MoreBetter(tm).
