Reliability of aacraid driver

Hey, 
I need to setup a type 1 SATA raid but am concerned about reliability of linux 
drivers.  I had seen a post remarking that the aacraid driver was buggy/slow.  
I had planned on getting an Adaptec 2410SA but that can change if there is a 
better one.
So basicaly, for people who have used the aacraid driver, is it reliable and 
how does it perform.  If it isn't stable, what is a better option.

Thanks
