OCZ Vertex 2 SSDs are the best bang-for-buck if you're looking for all out performance – I'd get one as a boot and then do RAIDed SATA for bulk storage. RAID-0 carries a pretty high risk of data loss (been there, done that) so I'd suggest RAID-5 if cost is a priority and RAID-10 otherwise. You could also just grab 2x2TB disks in RAID-1 if that meets your storage needs.

I'm looking at building a server/workstation for home. Workload will mostly be Hyper-V and movie editing. Would like suggestions on best bang-for-the-buck disk subsystem. Such as single SSD or RAID 0 SSD's for OS and single SATA or RAID 0 SATA's for storage? M/B I'm looking at has 6 SATA II connectors and supports RAID 0,1 and 10.
