Depends.  How brave do you feel?

IMO LVM should be considered a volume manager and mdadm a RAID manager.
 And linux mdraid is really pretty good.  But if it's a non-production
machine and you can afford to experiment around a little, there is ZFS
for Linux, and ZFS is the complete and utter shiznit, the bee's knees,
the magic wand that does it all.
