In your case I've used this, on the front ends, 2x36G (can be 18G if you 
have them spare) 10K rpm scsi in raid 1 for the OS (ext2). Then 1x36G 10k 
rpm for /var/log (ext2) and 1x72G 15K rpm for /var/spool (reiser).
No need for raid on those two disks.
I also use a ramdrive for /var/spool/MailScanner.
