Asus offers the choice of either Intel ICH9R Southbridge RAID or JMicro JMB363 RAID. Any thoughts on which would best suit my needs?

I am building a new Vista64bit computer based on the P5E3 Deluxe motherboard. I have one Western Digital WD1600YS 160GB SATA3 drive with a 1GB partition (I think that will be usde for the pagefile but am open to suggestions) and a second partion with the balance of the available storage as C: (other suggestions welcome!) I also have a Western Digital 1TB external eSATA drive which will operate as a system backup device.

I have two Western Digital WD7500AYYS 750GB SATA3 drives which I am thinking of using as a RAID1 array (data mirror). They are initialized but not formated yet. I will either format them as four partitions (mine:, audio:, video:, and backup:) or four directories (whichever works best with raid--any suggestions?)
