Default What should i choose RAID 5 or RAID 10

I'm going to get a new RAID Hard Drive array setup soon, and i was
wondering, since i'm pairing up a 3Ware 9590SE-8LP in my computer to
run a Seagate 80GB SATA 7200RPM RAID 1 Array for Windows, as well as
linux and etc. my second hard drive array is kind of tricky, I can go
with the 4 Seagate 320GB SATA 7200RPM on a RAID 10 array or a RAID 5
with the 4th as a seperate HD for the Page File, Temp, etc. I use my
computer to develop web pages, edit video, play video games, and will
possibly use it as a DVR for the TV in that room as well, later on. not
to mention work, pictures, basic computing tasks, and developing some
mods for games or programs and utilities
