FWIW 

My N40L is configured with 4 x 2 TB.  Each drive has a small (~100 GB) slice 
with the rest of the disk in a large slice.  I have a 4 way mirror for rpool 
using the small slices and the rest is in a RAIDZ2 pool.  Performance has been 
quite satisfactory.

I configured it this way because you could not boot from EFI disks and had to 
use EFI for disks larger than 2 TB.  I seem to recall that the EFI boot problem 
may have been solved.  In which case you could do a 6 way mirrored rpool and 
RAIDZ2 for the rest of the disks using 4 TB disks.

Since you have 6 bays you could also do a 2 way mirror rpool (e.g. 128 GB SSD) 
and a 4 disk RAIDZ2 using EFI labeled disks.

Have Fun!
