I would forgo using raid altogether unless your applications are going to have significant I/O bottlenecks, where the increased performance is a necessity.

Even when using RAID 1 or 5, its important to realize, it doesnt substitute for making regular backups. Its almost always a huge pain in the ass to restore a raid setup when a disk fails.
