James, Depending on what you are putting onto your RAID watch carefully what choices you make for SuperBlock type as well as being aware of possible md name changes between the install environment and your first real boot. I cannot comment on BTRFS and whether it's a good thing to use with LVS. I've seen varying reports so if this is a learning install then do what you want and have fun. If it's intended to be an in-service machine ASAP then possibly look around for more info on that before starting. Good luck, Mark
