I've decided on getting the OCZ vertex LE. However, I'm not sure if I'm better off getting two 50GB drives and setting them up in a raid 0 or just getting one 100GB drive.

help?

Easiest is to get a single drive so you can use TRIM.

If you use RAID0, then you would need to reserve more space; i.e. having a 80GB volume instead of 100GB (2x50) available; the 20GB would be reserved and is needed to cope with the inability to use TRIM.
