If you put encryption on top of a RAID of N devices, your CPU will have
to process one layer of encryption. If you put a RAID on top of N
encrypted devices, your CPU will have to process N layers of encryption.
But if you have enough cores and/or AES-NI, the latter might perform
better. Benchmark to find out.
For stability, the kernel, device drivers, dm-crypt, LVM, btrfs, etc.,
need to function correctly under concurrent workloads. Choose your
software accordingly.
