Depends on what your end goal is really.  The opensolaris.com version is releasing every 6 months, and I don't believe there's currently any patching between releases.  If you feel comfortable sitting on it that long, with potential bugs for 6 months, great.  If not... it should be an easy choice.  Personally I chose option 3 and loaded nexenta.  You get regular updates, but it still *stable* (or has been for me to date).

Pretty much what the subject says. I'm wondering which platform will
have the best stability/performance for a ZFS file server.

I've been using Solaris Express builds of Nevada for quite a while and
I'm currently on build 79b but I'm at a point where I want to upgrade.
So now I have to ask, should I go with the OpenSolaris (.com) release
instead? Also, is there one that has better/newer driver support?
(Mostly in relation to SATA controllers)

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but since my main
goal is a ZFS server then I should get your guys opinions.
