Not really answering your question directly, but may I suggest, if
cost is not *absolutely* critical, that you consider RAID 10? If it
is a server, then certainly you will want to get away from a
three-drive RAID 5. A RAID 10 is a good compromise between
redundancy, speed, and cost. It just takes four drives instead of
three (or two.)
Is there an advantage of software raid10 over multiple raid1 arrays
joined with LVM? Capacity can be dynamically added with pairs of disks.
Doug.
Only one: simplicity. It would make it easier for someone to
understand, in the beginning.

My assumption was that OP was not experienced.
If this is not the case, then under *nix, RAID 10 my not be first
choice. I run RAID 10 with a nice Adaptec hardware RAID card under
Windows Vista 64, but my Linux box is is RAID 1 with /boot under simple
mdraid and the rest (including /) under LVM. And with /boot outside of
LVM, I can use GRUB.
