Dell / HP kit also works fine.
And does RAID status monitoring works fine ?
depends on what you mean by fine. You will need to do some parsing in a
script and feed that into your monitoring system like nagios yourself.
Here is some output from the tw_cli command line client that people use
with 3ware cards :

So that would give you details on everything, including the interface,
the volumes under it, the disks and the Battery unit. What you do with
that info is upto you :) Make sure you buy a hba that actually does what
you need, fits in the machine you want it to work with, and has the
ports / setups that you need.
