In this particular case, I wanted the boot partition to survive if the data disks survived. Kinda annoying to have the data disks survive, but have to rebuild the system because the / or the /boot paritions didn't survive. With 500GB drives, an extra 200MB partition hardly matters, while it will save me a lot of headaches should one or two drives fail (assuming it's the right drives, and the data partition is still there).
