A partition table only wastes one disk block at the end of the day, you going to lose much more space with lvm and the raid in rounding. I have to admit I aways use a partition table even when a whole disk has been used for lvm. What kind of raid you going to use? Lvm does do striping and Concatination on PEs. (forget what "numbers" those are called ;-) Mirroring or raid 5 your going to have to use the the linux raid to make those devices.
