I'm considering buying a couple 512GB SSDs to run in a mirror as the boot 
drive and use all the regular drives in hardware RAID 6 as /home (including 
IMAP email and Samba shares). I'm guessing I should put swap on the 
spindles?

Good idea. I'll probably cut it down to 32 GB, mostly for use by 
SpamAssassin and ClamAV.
