Hdd configurations.. What's the best method?

So is there a "best" way to do this? I would kind of like to have win98se and XP, and maybe linux too on one box. I quickly decided that is a PITA, so I built another computer to be my win98/linux ginea pig, and the other to run xp. But my question is, how should I configure everything with my hdds? I do have a 160gb external usb drive that I can throw into the mix. Here are some options I've thought up.

XP comp:
1 - Everything on a big (320x2) raid 0 drive.
2 - OS only on small (120x2) raid-0 drive, program files/my docs on seperate drive.
3 - 1st option + big drive for important storage.
4 - Everything on a 160x3 (maybe 160x4) raid 0 drive + big drive for storage.


Dual Boot comp:
1 - One drive, partitioned for seperate OS's.
2 - Win98 on one drive, linux on other drive.
