We went with RAID-1, partially because disk is relatively cheap and RAID-1 offers more protection than RAID-5, and also it avoids grouping volumes together as in RAID-5 which would take away my ability to segregate volumes for various purposes (for example, my redo logs need to be on a volume where they can write serially without interference from other database I/O's that are random on other volumes).
