The "best" obviously depends on your set of requirements. If you don;t
care about the price the result may be different than when you try to
find a cost-effective solution.
We made really good experience with the Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 cards.

Lets be frank- almost all(?) RAID controllers you must export the disks
via JBOD and they cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. Doing SW RAID
via JBOD IMO is not a great idea-- I'd use individual 2 or 4 port SATA
controllers on PCI-e.
