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.
