The only models I've tested and recommended lately are exactly those
though.  The 9690SA is the earliest 3ware card I've mentioned as seeming
to have reasonable performance.  The 95XX cards are certainly much
slower than similar models from, say, Areca.  I've never had one of the
earlier 96XX models to test.  Now you've got me wondering what the
difference between the earlier and current 96XX models really is.
