I've been using 1.1 for everything. What's the current wisdom regarding 1.0 vs 1.1 or 1.2? I used 1.1 because that's also where filesystem metadata usually goes and therefore one might hope that the presence of the md metadata would prevent accidental identification of a raid volume as containing a filesystem.
I like 1.2 because if you happen to write an MBR or something to the drive, you don't lose the superblock.
With 1.2 I can also take the drive from a 3ware hw-raid (single drive in 3ware bios) and put in a non-3ware (because the 3ware stores the superblock at the end, so when you put it in a non-3ware the end has now changed).
