I've had particularly good results from the 3ware 9500 series 4port controllers. They run about $325 US dollars. I work with a company that archives massive amouts of video data, and before a client is ready for the 15 SATA NAS, you can get spectacular results out of a 4 port with PCI interface. They do have PCI(X) as well if speed is an issue.
I have built at least 10 boxes with these guys running a raid 5 array, and the 3 drive failures I have seen were always handled beautifully by the controller, and rebuilt without any problem. And no, I am not an employee or partner of 3ware!
