I'm using a Buslogic BT-958 for more then a year now. I'm very happy with. At that time I choosed it instead of Adaptec because of a lot of problems people had with Adaptec cards. I don't say there are still problems with Adaptec but my next card will be Buslogic (Mylex).
For the record: I don't own any shares of Mylex.
