RAID 0 is more useful when you need increased read/write speed but, as you noted, it has inherent vulnerabilities.
If anything, use Raid 5 or Raid 10. Raid 1 is horribly inefficient from a # of drives perspective. Even Raid 10 is a bit of a waste. Now one has to balance throughput, fault tolerance etc...but for all intents and purposes...
