You’ll want to select the RAID level depending on the amount of IO that you need to support. If once the machines boot they won’t to much IO very often, or the IO is mostly read then you’ll want to use RAID 5. If they are heavy write IO then you’ll want RAID 10. The host OS on RAID 1 is fine either way.
