Fibre Channel HBA recommendations?

We will be buying new Xeon E5-based servers for our datacenter and were wondering which Fibre Channel host bus adapters we should select for these. The choices are Emulex or QLogic (8Gb FC HBAs). Anybody have any recommendations on which is the better choice?
Thanks in advance.

NAME
qlc - ISP2200, ISP2300, and SP212 Family Fibre Channel host bus adapter driver. SYNOPSIS
SUNW,qlc The qlc host bus adapter driver is a Sun Fibre Channel transport layer-compliant nexus driver for the Qlogic ISP2200, ISP2200A, ISP2310, ISP2312, and SP212 adapters. These adapters support Fibre Channel SCSI and IP Protocols, FC-AL public loop profile, point-to-point fab- ric connection and Fibre Channel service classes two and three (see NOTES section below). The qlc driver interfaces with the Sun Fibre Channel transport layer to support the standard functions provided by the SCSA interface. It supports auto request sense and tagged queueing by default. The driver requires that all devices have unique hard addresses in private loop configurations. Devices with conflicting hard addresses are not accessible. /kernel/drv/qlc 32-bit ELF kernel module () /kernel/drv/amd64/qlc 64-bit ELF kernel module () /kernel/drv/sparcv9/qlc 64-bit ELF kernel module (SPARC) /kernel/drv/qlc.conf Driver configuration file See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Architecture |SPARC, | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWqlc | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ prtconf(1M), driver.conf(4), fcp(7D), fp(7D) Writing Device Drivers ANSI X3.230:1994, Fibre Channel Physical Signaling (FC-PH) Project 1134-D, Fibre Channel Generic Services (FC-GS-2) ANSI X3.269-1996, Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) ANSI X3.270-1996, Fibre Channel Protocol for SCSI (FCP-SCSI) ANSI X3.270-1996, SCSI-3 Architecture Model (SAM) Fibre Channel Private Loop SCSI Direct Attach (FC-PLDA) Fabric Loop Attachment (FC-FLA) ISP2200 Firmware Interface Specification, QLogic Corporation ISP2300 Series Firmware Specification, QLogic Corporation NOTES
SP-212-based host bus adapters (including QLA-210) are supported on x86 platforms only and are limited to a maximum of 8 targets in fab- ric and sixteen targets in local loop topology. FL topology is not supported with the SP-212-based host bus adapter. 21 Feb 20054 qlc(7D)
