Any preferences for PCI SCSI controllers? Or is this a religious issue?

I had a Tyan 1365 (NCR825) Wide SCSI controller which was working OK but it
seems to have a cold lead somewhere and I will be exchanging it with the 
dealer.  I have the opportunity to upgrade now to an ULTRA-WIDE controller.
Does anyone have any strong recommendations for or against the:

ADAPTEC		2940UW
BUSLOGIC 	BT-958

Are there drivers for these available (I will hunt myself but I may miss it
so if anyone knows definitively either way)?

Can the driver handle a root partition on SCSI ID 1 (my MS-DOS C: drive is on
drive ID 0 so...)?
