ZFS Mirror versus Hardware Mirror

I've looked a little but haven't found a solid answer, assuming there is one.

What's better, hardware mirroring or ZFS mirroring? Common practice for us was to use the raid controllers on the Sun x86 servers. Now we've been using ZFS mirroring since U6. Any performance difference? Any other issues of one over the other?

Right paranthesis, in a right-to-left resolved context. If your rendering engine does mirroring itself, you may want to turn it off here. This flag is on by default.
