The only argument I see for FC is a switched sorage network. As soon as you dedicate a storage box to one (or two) servers there is really no point in FC. Just use a SAS box with SATA disks inside. It is a) faster, b) simpler, c) works better and d) costs a fraction.
The Tier 1 vendors can be touchy about certifying SATA SANs in certain environments, especially 24x7 DCs. That's why only our "tier 3" (there is not "tier 2"...) storage is SATA.
