So rather than not using RAID5 or RAID6 again, you should just not
use 3ware anymore.

If you use the 3dm2 management interface you can schedule verify and
rebuild tasks to run on a regular basis. I think that 7500 series
controllers can do this, 9500 and 9550's definitely can.

Actually it's all 7/8/9xxx series cards. The 9xxx series cards also do auto-verify so there's no need to schedule the task.
