Powevault clustering/RAID configuration suggestions

I have two poweredge 6800's that are clustered and attached to 2 powervault 220's.  What is the recommended RAID config when implementing a Database??  Space is not an issue.  I am more concerned with redundancy and IO performance.  Is it better to have the RAID span the 220's or have the RAID configured on each 220 seperately. I am using a PERC 4 SCSI card.

    Your best option is a RAID 10. With each enclosure mirroring each other so that you have enclosure redundancy.

    You might try a tool like this one to help identify optimal storage config:  http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/1084
     
    It's on VMware's site, but doesn't just run with VMware.
