For CPU offload, you have SMF type 74 subtype 9 and SMF type 30 (ZEDC section) available to demonstrate activity (after implementation). Also for SMF LOGSTREAMs, you have z/OS LOGR SMF data source as well. And as far as pre-implementation consideration, I've heard that the zBNA utility offering has data-volume / time-frame limitations. We have only started with DSFHSM and have done only a small test with PKZIP thus far.
My personal experience to-date with both SMF LOGSTREAMs and sequential-datasets (with 4 cards to allow for concurrent maintenance as well as fail-over) is very positive. One point is to ensure current-maintenance for z/OS is tracked/maintained.
