Where to put SATA optical on Asus P5W-DH

Ok, so I'm new to the SATA thing. I've been thinking about getting the P5W-DH and a Plextor PX-755SA optical drive. I'll likely have three HDDs, which will take up the 3 SATA ports for the ICH7R (SATA1, SATA3 & SATA4). Which do I use for the optical drive? One of the EZ_RAID ports or the SATA_RAID1 port?
 
I say probably one of the "Native" chipset based SATA ports. If you put the drive on one of those ports from the add-on controller, you risk a chance that your optical drive will most likely not be bootable.
