Best practices of RAID configuration of StorEdge HDS 9960 and Oracle 10g R2

Hello, what are the best practices of RAID configuration of HDS 9960 storage and Oracle. Currently we are using now Mirroring RIAD 1+0 with 4 disks (2+2). Will the second option of Mirroring 4+4 give us better performance than 2+2 disks? Thanks in advance. P.S. the Oracle instance is OLTP.
