At work we use Solaris 10 with zfs and compression enabled for our
MySQL databases.
All InnoDB. No speed penalty and only really slight advantages. I tend
to say, it doesn't matter.
It gives you more disk space by a wee bit of more CPU consumption.
On the other hand, CPU is usually not your problem in a heavy load
MySQL scenario.
It's disc seek times...

No benchmarks and no time right now to come up with some fancy graphs.

InnoDB.
