Very simply, keep different "write" object types (data, rollback and redo) on separate stripe sets. Indexes, I'm not convinced striping really helps, unless you're perfoming significant index range scans... Even then access to indexes is not like perfoming serial scans of disk.

Advice on striping for data is dependent on DB_MULTI_BLOCK_READ_COUNT (might have too many words or '_'s here!) On AIX, we use 8Mb striping to be able to use disk mirroring, on systems without disk mirroring 64K is possible and is flying...
