... but HAMMER (as good as it is) is 'only' a filesystem ... You will not create RAID1/RAID5/RAID6/RAID10/RAID60/.../RAIDXYZ with it like with ZFS, HAMMER needs one device on which it can 'spread' so You still need a volume manager to provide that device, that is why they ported LVM from Linux.

I like NetBSD because of having Xen dom0 support and iSCSI target in the base, but thats it, I have tried it about 5.0 times and it was PITA to use it (packages/configuration/sound), I hope most of these things will be resolved at 6.0 (pkgin is very nice).
