before the 9550, I never found attractive in price/performance: expensive as hell and a lot slower than MD. but the 9550 is really quite impressive...
I like the 3wares for their ability to do true hot swap in hardware RAID mode. I have 2 older servers with 7500 cards in 'em that I recently tried to migrate to md (for speed, as you mentioned). All my testing with 'mdadm --fail' went just fine. However, when a disk actually died and the 3ware booted it, the server hung. So I migrated 'em back to hardware RAID (but RAID10 instead of RAID5).
