Typically most vendors recommend a two-prong approach, keep the database data files on a RAID5/RAID6 type array and keep the log files on a RAID10 array.
I can not comment on "most vendors" but for the PROGRESS RDBMS RAID5 is definitely not recommended. It will work but you will see a significant reduction in performance. We strongly recommend that our clients go with RAID10 (as in RAID 1+0). In-house we only use RAID10.
Just my 0.02CA.
