XFS is designed for large files. I'd personally go with it on RAID1 (for
interleaved reads).

I have a RAID 0 partition which I intended to use for streaming live
video to the disk (though I never got around to setting it up. The plan
was always to then move the data to the RAID 1 parition, for fast reads
and data safety.

Alas I haven't gotten around to doing anything so exciting. It was the
result of some research into the area at the time that I was setting it
up though, so it was the best option I could find when I was looking
into it.
