As far as performance, software RAID is every bit as fast and there is no performance hit due to the RAID: A dedicated hardware RAID card with write caching can significantly improve performance - didn't Sandy Drobic post some results just recently?

Really? Assuming cost is not a factor, to me performance is the only factor that matters in that decision. It's the one major advantage IMHO.
Nope, in my opinion ease of use is the best argument. I don't even have to know anything about linux to be able to replace a drive.
