If use raw device (not a slice, the whole LUN) you have maximum warm migration and cluster failover compatibility (metadata needs to go on NAS as well). The advantage of using a zpool in the service domain then exporting a zvol to the guest is rapid provisioning: build one guest, then configure second snapshot first and send/receive to the new zpool. Much faster than a regular install. The compromise would seem to use a flar for the install source.
