I usually wind up using older Compaq and HP servers for OpenBSD, where they used either Megaraid, old Adaptec or Smart/2 RAID, and they work fine in OpenBSD. I haven't tried them, but I understand the HP DL145s work well, but they're not RAID or hot-swap.
The Dell PERC 4e/Si seems to be an LSI RAID controller, so it's possibly well-supported. That seems to be the built-in RAID on the PowerEdge 1850 and others.
I've heard Suns v20z servers are good, but if you search the archives I think you can find out the company that OEMs them if you don't need the support. I dunno what's inside.
I think IBM's RAID controllers are unsupported.
