Go with a single SSD drive for OS and a larger drive or drives for storage. RAID is only good for SSD's if you are using more than 2 in a RAID array.
This will only provide you with data protection or redundancy. RAID 0 doesn't make data transfer speed faster using SSD's as it does with regular hard drives.
So if you are wanting extra speed on your storage you might consider multiple SSD drives in RAID 5 or 10, but if that's no concern just go with your regular plated hard drives in RAID or just on their own.
Wiki has a pretty good explanation of RAID types to help you choose.

SSD + RAID 0 = zero real world performance benefit.
