`raidctl` is for hardware RAID.
Solaris Volume Manager and Veritas Volume Manager are software-based RAIDs and both work fine. If you are using an array that will require Veritas file system then you should go with Veritas RAID for the OS. Personally I prefer SVM but only because I have a better understanding it versus Veritas.
