No, RAIDZ will not work better, and it isn't an unusual use case anyways. RAIDZ has a lot of baggage with it in the form of block size selection and parity use.
If you don't care about data integrity other than maybe to notice something amiss, just stripe all the disks.
100gigE isn't likely to be a useful thing for you. The fastest modern disks can sustain an average of about 200Mbytes/sec doing sequential access which is ballpark 2Gbits/sec, so you have a theoretical max of 14 * 2Gbps = 28Gbps. You won't be seeing that most of the time, but certainly 10GbE would be fine and 40 seems justifiable.
