James,
Depending on what you are putting onto your RAID watch carefully
what choices you make for SuperBlock type as well as being aware of
possible md name changes between the install environment and your
first real boot.
I cannot comment on BTRFS and whether it's a good thing to use with
LVS. I've seen varying reports so if this is a learning install then
do what you want and have fun. If it's intended to be an in-service
machine ASAP then possibly look around for more info on that before
starting.
Good luck,
Mark
