My question is whether it is worth using one of type A (with SSD drives) in order to host the critical data such as the web sites and the subversion repository (critical in the sense that these services should be fast, always available, and the related data as safe as possible).
Go with 10/15k RPM SAS, not Intel SSD or SATA if you want best availability. Intel SSDs have had firmware issues since they came out, I doubt we've seen the end of firmware changes on them.
