Dell PowerVault ME5 and ZFS?

So I have 2 severs with a PowerVault ME5 each. Both servers are in different locations, so no FC connection between both ME5212s.

My idea was to use ZFS as filesystem to be able to use ZFS replication over ethernet for specific datasets.

Now the ME5 itself has builtin raid functionallity I have to use.
So I will have one big disk represented to my servers each backed by a hardware raid.

My main features I want to use is replication of datasets / subvolumes over ethernet and the possibility to enable compression to some subvolumes.

Should I give ZFS a chance in this setting or better go for BTRFS in this case?
