I only work with the ZFS appliance but, you're not going to make a cache vdev?

I figured it wouldn't be necessary as this is for home use, 2-3 machines at once, media, personal files, ESXi homelab datastore. Non production, basically. Am I wrong in thinking that? Also the server will have 64GB RAM.

That ram is fine, it's just I usually see ZFS configured with vdevs for cache/spare/zil. I know the intent log is a big deal for databases.

I'd probably just pick #2 and fill in the last 2 disks with a spare vdev.
