A question about ZFS built-in SMB

Assuming the following:
- A server running FreeBSD 10.1
- A ZFS pool with no restrictions on how it can be set up
- Clients running Windows XP/Vista/7/8
- The need for a "public share" with two main directories, which we'll
call 'stuff' and 'dropbox'. Anonymous guest users have read/write access
to 'dropbox', and read-only access to 'stuff' as well as being
restricted in which files and directories they can even see there.
Admin-class users have full permissions and visibility to both directories.
Is installing Samba still a requirement, or is ZFS's built-in SMB
sharing complete and robust enough now to be able to handle everything
natively? (Alternatively, is SMB itself even still a requirement or are
there other options these days (that don't require installing software
or custom configs on the clients))?
