I installed a Supermicro AOC-USASLP-L8i card here some days ago. Should be
even cheaper than the ones you mentioned and comes with a LSI chip
supported by mpt driver:

mpt0 at pci0:6:0:0:        class=0x010000 card=0xa68015d9 chip=0x00581000
rev=0x08 hdr=0x00 vendor     = 'LSI Logic (Was: Symbios Logic, NCR)'
    device     = 'SAS 3000 series, 8-port with 1068E -StorPort'
    class      = mass storage
    subclass   = SCSI



I only installed it last week and cannot comment much on performance and
stability up to now.
