It depends on what you want.
If you want the filesystem in the partition to be visible without configuring
RAID, then 1.0.
If you explicitly don't. i.e. you don't see the filesystem until you
assemble the raid1, then 1.2.
Personally, I prefer 1.2, but your needs might be different.
If you boot off the raid1 array, then your boot loader might have a
preference.
