So...suggestions? What's a good way to utilize the power and glory of ZFS in a 
4x 500 GB system, without unnecessary waste?

Bung in (add a USB one if you don't have space) a small boot drive and
use all the others for for ZFS.

This is how I run my home server w/ 4 500GB drives - a small
40GB IDE drive provides root & swap/dump device, the 4 500 GB
drives are RAIDZ & contain all the data.   I ran out of drive
bays, so I used one of those 5 1/4" -> 3.5" adaptor brackets
to hang the boot drive where a second DVD drive would go...
