RAID or no RAID

Hallo Squid-Users,

in future we will use 2 new squid-caches with perhaps 3 x 15 GB cache on 3
disks on each system.

We use AIX RS/6000 and my short question:

What is better:

RAID0 or squid.conf like this:

cache_dir /usr/local/squid/cache1 15000 16 256
cache_dir /usr/local/squid/cache2 15000 16 256
cache_dir /usr/local/squid/cache3 15000 16 256

Ok, i read www.squid-cache.org and some people wrote RAID0 is good, other
squid-users say RAID0 is bad, because of no redundancy. I think RAID5 is no
alternative, or ???
I want to get a high performance because in future i must manage thousands
of people with my caches.

Perhaps someone can help me
