ZFS assures that any corrupt data served by the underlying storage system is either detected or - if possible - corrected by using checksums and parity. Data integrity was one of the primary design goals of ZFS. There are many reasons why ZFS is such a fine choice, but the most important one is probably 'data integrity'.
