3Ware SATA RAID Controllers

3Ware make 2/4/8/12 port SATA Raid Controllers. 66Mhz PCI Adapters.

For some of you that probably have much more experience in raid controllers, would I see a difference in performance between using 3x 4-port controllers with a single raid array each as apposed to a single 12-port controller with 3x raid arrays?

It is cheaper to puchase a single 12-port controller.

Cant remember if the PCI bandwidth is distributed over all slots, or each slot has its own bandwidth.

Thanks for any advice.
