Until I read this thread, I've never heard of building RAIDs on bare metal drives. I'm assuming no partition table, just a disk label?
What is the advantage of doing this?
For just my purposes, the advantage is that I can treat my md RAID drives in the same way I treat my hardware RAID drives, which are bare drives. It's just easier conceptually for me to not have to remember to create a partition. As Warren said, this is for data volumes, not for arrays that need to host /boot or /.
