Usually you want to do raid 1 first and then stripe accross the raid 1 mirrors. The problem with this is that are multiple drive failure sittions where a striped mirror would still be running where as a mirrored stripe would be dead in the water. (Though in the latter case you could still recover stuff after replacing the bad drives.)
