I don't know what the SmartOS way is per se, but I can describe what we do at Joyent. If the amount of data is something that's going to fit on a single host, eg. say a postgres database, then we just use a delegated dataset for that data and update the zone's base image using a pre-built image that has everything that we require inside of it. If the amount of data is larger than what's realistically going to fit on a single host or we have different availability and durability requirements, we use manta. In more of the context of this thread, it's probably the case that everything fits into the single box capacity and that durability is best addresses by using RAID appropriately and backups.
