I don't know about affordable, but we've had excellent success with the 
3Ware 7000-series, 9000-series, and 9500-series PATA and SATA RAID 
controllers.  4-port and 12-port.  The 7000-series uses the twe(4) driver 
and is support in FreeBSD 5+, and the 9000/9500-series uses the twa(4) 
driver, with support in FreeBSD 6+.  The 3dm2 web management tool is 
among the best I've seen so far.

Areca cards are also very good.

Don't know anything about lower-end, non-server RAID controllers, though.  
At home I just use PCI-based IDE controllers and gmirror.  :)
