A significant difference is the way arrays are assembled at boot time. raidtools depended on raidstart (which never worked reliably and doesn't work at all with recent kernels) or type-FD partitions, which I assume you weren't using. mdadm has a lot more flexibility. You can still use type-FD partitions if you want, or you create /etc/mdadm.conf with roughly the output of mdadm -Ds though it is worth understanding the contents of that file and making sure it is what you want.
