If anyone has any firsthand experience implementing this or has a strong opinion one way or the other please share.

I agree in principle with most of it - the more physical disk heads you can keep working for you the better off you are, and RAID 0+1 is faster than RAID5.

I have to question putting the redo logs into that mix though. Redo is sequential writes, the other components are random access. I have to think that keeping the redo on a separate hardware RAID 1 by itself would be faster than putting it on the RAID 0+1 with everything else.
