Make sure your data pool is well laid out zfs though.
Personally, I use BTRFS in RAID10 config. I don't need crazy performance and my NAS is pretty low power with only 8GB of RAM (use to be 4GB on my previous setup).
zfs is about data integrity rather than performance.
BTRFS has plenty of features for data integrity, auto-correction, scrubbing, snapshots. I haven't studied in details the differences with ZFS, I just went with BTRFS because the setup is fairly simple, it's flexible and it does what I need.
