The Symbios based ones are very common and popular, and I believe they make SCSI 
3 versions.  If you only have SCSI 2 drives, the Adaptec AIC7xxx series is 
pretty good and relatively cheap.  I have an AHA2940 or something like that 
(don't know the exact model, it reports itself as a Adaptec AIC-7881U in lspci).
