In my opinion no. Most of the cheaper hardware raids are really just software raid solutions. For the more expansive once always remember you will always need drivers and there is no guarentee that you will get them in two or three years. Some vendors do no longer exist or no longer support that product.
Wasn't there some talk recently about standardizing the on-disk format for both hardware and software RAID?
It's happening.
"SNIA" has created an on-disk format "DDF", which both software and hardware RAID vendors have pretty much all agreed to use.
Of course, the spec is not public yet, so who knows what they have agreed to...
