With grub2, your /boot can be an LV on a RAID6 if you want it to be.
The only thing that does not work is /boot on dmcrypt.
Having /boot on a separate RAID1, however, might be easier for
recovery, especially if you are not so familiar yet. Later, however,
it doesn't matter, i.e. Debian installer rescue mode or grml can
easily give you access to a system, and Super Grub Disk can boot
such a system too, should you ever need it.
