This has been discussed so many times.
Running your VMs on a RAID volume (other than RAID 1) is just not recommended.
People always get caught up with disk transfer rate throughput and forget about I/O requests scaling, when that's what matters in this scenario.
I'm confident that 100% of production ESX environments are run on storage with a RAID level of some sort. Fast controllers and fast disks are more than capable of handling the I/O demands of VMs. Just configure according to your needs.
