There's a limit to haw much even ZFS can do with bad disks, sure it can
manage a failing mirror better than SVM or low end hardware RAID, but
given the motley collection of drives in the OP's system, there aren't
that many options.  Given the silly prices of new drives (320GB are
about the best $/GB), replacement is the best long term option.
Otherwise, mirroring the largest two drives and discard the small one might be 
a good option.
