Raid-5+spare or Raid-10?

Previously I've used software raid-1 for my RH7.x servers and it has
worked extremely well.

For this new server I am purchasing however I decided to get a 3ware
7506-4LP raid card and 4x80GB drives.  The server will do general things
like email, web, ftp, dns, etc and will be running RHEL.

With 4 drives, I can either do raid-5 with a hotspare or raid-10.  Both
will give me 160GB of space and theoretically can withstand the loss of
2 drives.

Any suggestions as to which raid array type to choose?
