This being the case, is it better to have two 2-channel controllers or two
4-channel controllers? Or does it make much difference?

recovery....
Raid 5 should not be used for any kind of logs. Logs by nature are read
and write intensive. Raid 5 will slow down on heavy write.
If you can only have 4 drives, use 2 drives Raid one for OS, Page file
and logs. Use 2 drives Raid 1 for database.
If you can have 6 drives, use 2 drives raid 1 for OS and page file, 2
drives raid 1 for transaction log and 2 drives Raid 1 for database.
It kind of depends on the work load too.
How many users and what kind of usage?
