I'd go for hardware RAID as long as there is a true and real hardware 
RAID controller behind with a battery backup et al (in brief, a *good* 
RAID controller, not the motherboard's one which are usually nothing but 
fakeraid and a pile of unforeseen problems).

Otherwise I would use software RAID (md).
