I prefer software raid because it's a lot cheaper, "more or least" give the
same performance (if you use good SAS or SATA controlers) and easier to
replace/repair in case of failure.
Battery backed caches does not help you in case of motherboard die or power
suply switch-off, because if you use any "decent" FS over it, it will not be
in sync when light goes out. Thats why newer fs support point-in-time
techniques, like metadata storage, journaling, etc.
