With the exception of the 2220 all of the other cards do RAID 5 in
software.
The 1820a has hardware XOR while the 1820 is purely software

For your needs just about any RAID card from anyone will do
what you want. The main reason I recommended highpoint's raid cards
this because the company fully supports FreeBSD 4.x / 5.x with
drivers
and CLI/GUI management programs.
That's great! We don't run GUIs on servers that run RAID (for obvious
reasons), but if they have a good CLI program it'll work well.
For you hot-swapping needs look here for SATA cages:

Anything that'll fit in a 17" relay rack?
