I'm currently planning on running FreeBSD with ZFS, but I wanted to
double-check how much memory I'd need for it to be stable. The ZFS
wiki currently says you can go as low as 1 GB, but recommends 2 GB;
however, elsewhere I've seen someone claim that you need at least 4 GB.

How about

1GB isn't enough for a real system. 2GB is a bare minimum. If you're
going to use dedup, plan on a *lot* more. I think 4 or 8 GB are good
for a typical desktop or home NAS setup. With FreeBSD you may be able
to get away with less. (Probably, in fact.)
Btw, instead of RAIDZ2, I'd recommend

You'll have better performance, and good resilience against errors. And
you can grow later as you need to by just adding additional drive pairs.

using FreeBSD 9 w/ ZFSv15 using default settings, nothing in loader.conf

12GB of memory seems to be all ZFS wanted to use, I have tried

but zfs never wants to use more unless you play
