LSIiBBU01 (intelligent) has some kind of comms relating to charge state etc, I think it may also have a longer runtime. LSIBBU03 (non-intelligent) doesn't, and was something like a third of the price where I bought mine (scan.co.uk). My approach was to get the cheaper one and spend the difference on drives to backup at least some of the data onto, the amount of data you can lose in one go with SATA RAID gets a bit worrying (-: (dump over ssh to a hard drive on another machine is simple and quite effective). Other tips include not rushing the installation (spend some time making the cables nice and tidy) and setup some monitoring (sensorsd is fine); besides RAID status, it is useful to check temperature, voltages, and fan speed if you can.
