Definitely HBA mode. In my opinion, it is good to use in a lab, but not for production. Unfortunately, I have had bad experiences with p420 controllers. These controllers had problems with internal (controller) restarts under high workloads, which resulted in problems with Ceph. A firmware update helped, but for a long time, we haven't used HP on Ceph clusters. Sometimes they are used as compute nodes, but another problem we've had is spontaneous node restarts during soft RAID 1 MD sync (also under high workloads). Many controllers had to be replaced during the warranty period.
