Avoid the Adaptec ones which are conveniently also marketed as PERC. Anything >= PERC4 should be AMI/LSI based and works.
The PERC3 DC/DCL/SC should work too. Again make sure you don't end up with something adaptec (they do have different designations but my memory fails me). Can't comment on the HP stuff since I don't use it. On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 10:32:31AM -0600, L. V.
