From my experience with Oracle RACs on NetApp: Don't. Not even for dev. Not even for a 10bytes database. Just Don't. Other than that, ASM will provide no real benefig and will only increase the complexity (and possible points of failure) of your setup. I suggest you only use ASM for cluster files (OCR and Voting) and then have the datafiles on NFS...
