4. Use a CompactFlash card (the board has a slot) for root, 8 drives in raidz2 tank, backup the root regularly
If booting/running from CompactFlash works, then I like this one. Backing up root should be trivial since you can back it up into your big storage pool. Usually root contains mostly non-critical data. The nice SAS backplane seems too precious to waste for booting.
