It's tough to say, all three companies have products that are very good and will fit your description of what you want, it comes down to price and features. I just went thru the exercise of comparing Netapp FAS3000 Series and EMC NS series, they both had NAS, iSCSI, Fiber and large capacity. Overall we veered towards the Netapp because they had better features than the NS In the end though we got the NS-40 from EMC because the came $20K under the Netapp for the same disk space 10 TB and they threw in 2 brocade Fiber switches, also they support package was well worth it. I'm only familiar with the smaller Equallogic arrays and wasn't impressed with them, While very easy to setup and manage, We could only do one type of RAID on the array and on the database we attached thru iSCSI the data rate could not be sustained for write, but this was one year ago so they've must have gotten better
