RAID5 does one less IO per write as it doesn't have to write the extra
parity, but RAID50 is a little worse then RAID6 because it has to
calculate 2 parity blocks.
If doing RAID6 I'd probably create one large RAID6, once you get into
RAID60 it's probably just as well do RAID10.

That really depends on HW config, software config and workload.
