It would depend on the apps that will be run. If the apps are
disk-intensive and performance is the main goal, then option b is the way to
go.
Personally, I'd rather sacrifice a bit or performance and have the peace of
mind that the server is less likely to croak if a drive fails, so I would
almost invariably choose option a.
