It would be nice if you could try exactly the same from the failed lenny
installation with current daily.
With the businesscard you can choose between stable/testing/unstable
For grub-installer itself it doestn't matter which you install.
It isn't yet checked if you have a bios_grub partition and RAID/LVM
on /boot, but then you at least should get an error from grub-install in
VT4 or syslog.
It shouldn't choose GRUB Legacy if you use GPT on all disks belonging
to /root

Oh and by the way /boot over LVM over RAID should work now with
squeeze's GRUB 2 but it hasn't been yet that much tested.
