A year ago I set up Ubuntu server with 3 ZFS pools on my server, normally I don't make copies of very large files but today I was making a copy of a ~30GB directory and I saw in rsync that the transfer doesn't exceed 3mb/s (cp is also very slow).

What is the best file system that "just works"? I'm thinking of migrating everything to ext4

EDIT: I really like the automatic pool recovery feature in ZFS, has saved me from 1 hard drive failure so far

Most filesystems should "just work" these days.

Why are you blaming the filesystem here when you haven't ruled out other issues yet? If you have a drive failing a new FS won't help. Check out "smartctl" to see if it reports errors in your drives.

they may be using really slow hard drives or an SSD without DRAM.

or maybe a shitty network switch?

maybe the bandwidth is used up by a torrent box?

there's a lot of possible causes.
