One big raid-5 would have higher speed because it would have one more
disk allocated to storing data rather than more parity. The raid 5+0
isn't really going to be any more reliable because it can withstand a
single failure in either half, but not two failures in one half, so in
the face of a double failure, you have a 50/50 chance of one being in
each half.
