I'd go with the Qlogic.  The driver is a lot simpler and is better maintained
(since it "lives" in the NetBSD tree, whereas we only periodically update the
Adaptec driver from FreeBSD); I get pretty similar performance with either.

Also, you can boot your Alpha from the Qlogic, but *not* from the Adaptec.

Where are you going to buy the Qlogic card?  Are they selling them again
outside of huge OEM orders?  For a while they weren't.
