Using a 3ware 9690SA Card (oem.tgz driver) - Official ESXi support?

If one was to use a piece of hardware supported from the vendor by installing the driver using the oem.tgz method does that mean VMWare ESXi classes you as using unsupported hardware? I have been told this in turn means you are not able to get any sort of support from VMWare but I cant actually find any information on that.

My boss is telling me to use an Adaptec card and Id like to use a 3ware one. Money is not the problem as the two cards are similar in terms of price.

If someone could shed some light on this for me Id appreciate it.

Cheers,

Tom
