A quick update.... I've just moved my desktop system to ZFS, so nice! :) Will be migrating my SB server as soon as I've fed it some juicy RAM sticks... If you go down the FreeBSD route, and don't mind doing a bit of extra homework/legwork (the FreeBSD installer doesn't yet offer ZFS, you need to follow a guide), it's definitely worth a look.
