Go for hardware RAID, then. And while you're at it, buy *at least* one more disk and go for RAID 5. > 3.

If, as you said in point 2, you're going for RAID 1, the second disk will just mirror the first one. LVM is almost always advisable over manual partitioning, specially in enterprise environments. -- Ian Dexter R.
