Sure, if you can afford it, go for it, although I'm unsure why you're
going with a DIY storage solution if you don't want to get your hands
dirty in Solaris/Illumos stuff. If you just want a minimum-hassle
working ZFS-based iSCSI storage solution with a pretty GUI, go for
something like Nexenta. They already integrate RSF-1 into their
clustered solution and you'll get support for the whole bundle. Going
with OmniOS makes sense if you're trying to do something out of the
ordinary or on a budget or you just like tinkering with stuff.

Cheers,
