For decent cost/performance go with Promise controllers. If you get a regular SATA controller, it's probably best to get their SATAII line which supports native command queueing (NCQ).

If you're thinking about using it under Linux, then stick with 3ware. They're a little more expensive, but the driver has been built into the kernel 2.4 for the 7000 & 8000 series and kernel 2.6 also adds support for the 9000 series as well.
