Working set of ~50% is quite large; when you say data analysis I'd assume some sort of OLTP or real-time BI situation, but do you know the nature of your processing, i.e. is it latency dependent or bandwidth dependent? Reason I ask, is because I think 10GB delivers better overall B/W, but 4GB infiniband delivers better latency.
It would be difficult to believe that 10Gbit Ethernet offers better bandwidth than 56Gbit Infiniband (the current offering). The swiching model is quite similar. The main reason why IB offers better latency is a better HBA hardware interface and a specialized stack. 5X is 5X.
If 3xdisk raidz1 is too expensive, then put more SSDs in each raidz1.
