Populating HBA or MB SATA?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
I've heard a few horror stories of LSI HBA's causing some serious data corruption. Most of these cases were due to insuffiencient airflow. When it comes to data integrity I wonder if LSI HBA's in IT mode have more or less ability to detect errors or increase/decrease the risk of data corruption?
I've heard that overheating is more of an issue with the SAS 12Gbit HBAs, not the older 6Git ones like yours
