Choose one which lists support for ECC.  You need to check Intel's 
product page on each to make sure that the CPU also supports ECC. 
Chips with 'Xeon' in the name are usually the server-centric models, 
with more memory bandwidth.

For zfs, the CPU itself is rarely the bottleneck for performance. 
Spend your money on more RAM.
