It's not an enterprise environnement, i will just store movies, tons of it.
Even for personnal datas like photos and stuff, never saw a simple user using ecc ram, especially in the windows world of gaming.
It would be safer, but not worth the money.
Driver compatibility issues, i'm currently running 4.2.5 and i already returned 3 cards who didn't have a compatible driver (tried for one week to run the last one with the help of highpoint support but i returned it after, didn't want to take the chance to loose my money since the allowed delay to return an item is not that long).
I want to run 6drives (3To each) in raid 6.
What do you mean by hotplug backplane? I googled it but it is not very clear to me.
Because i do, if i understand what i read correctly hardware raid is limited by the card components when my zfs raid will be limited by my cpu and ram. I will not encrypt the data though, too much load on the cpu.

No, it doesn't. It refutes a description of a single hypothetical problem wherein scrubbing ZFS can corrupt your data. That is to say that it makes the case that ZFS doesn't need ECC any more than any other filesystem. However, it doesn't need ECC any less, either. ZFS doesn't protect your data from corruption anywhere but on the disk. If you care about the integrity of your data, you should still use ECC RAM.
I know and i won't be using zfs on hardware raid anyway. My issue here is hardware compatibility as i don't have enough sata ports to run my disks on my motherboard. Either i run pure hardware raid or hba + zfs, just need to be sure of the card.
I'd imagine it'd be harder to find a controller that Linux doesn't support. How many disks do you want to include in the array? (And, yes, most HBAs assume a hotplug backplane, not individual drive connections.)
zfs performance cost is not an issue when you have a high end desktop imo.
Sure, it's probably not. But you didn't say "not an issue," you said you expected better performance with ZFS.
