Multiple SATA Controller Question

So, I recently picked up an Asrock C2550D4I board to replace my aging non ECC board. I've got 6 drives in my zpool which matched the number of ports on my old mobo but this new one has a whopping 12 sata ports across 3 different controllers on a mini ITX board. My question is this... Would it be better to balance the drives across the different controllers to spread out the workload and prevent a bottleneck or would it be more efficient to cram them all onto a single controller?
