3ware has been in the kernel longer and has always seemed to support linux more actively. However, I'd personally not touch either and go for SCSI - I'd even prefer software SCSI RAID to hardware IDE RAID. Plus the 3ware is true hardware RAID whilst the Promise is firmware RAID ( = software RAID on dedicated processor = not as good). AFAICR. HTH.
