I recently reinstalled my systems, and I had to use superblock 0.9 to be
able to boot ext4 from raid-1 (kernel 2.6.31 - grub2 1.97-beta4).
I didn't go deep with it as I was quite in hurry, so I'm not sure if it
depends by grub2 or by kernel's md autodetection at boot.
I used superblock 1.1 for the others md devices.
The advantage of superblocks >= 1.0 that I prefere is that they persist
the number of recovered read errors; this allow to monitor (at the
moment manually via /sys/block/mdXX/devYY/errors) across system restarts
the health of devices into the array, useful for raid-5 and 2-disks raid-1.
