"RAIDZ" seems to be most popular, but if you want better performance go with mirrors. Then let yours VM's have their own FS on top of zvol. For example NTFS on top of a zvol you can get GB rw/s even with spinning HDD's.



If you have 24 disks for a pool, then mirroring across 4 6-disk RAIDZ2 zvols works well too.
