Short answer: if you make one striping partition -- you have better overall performance. if you distribute tables using tablespaces -- you make tables performance more independant from other tables. I.e. large load on one table has less impact on the load on the other table. Personally I would keep indexes on one set of drives and data on other. All depends on your setup.
