[suse-oracle] Best use of ASM

I am in the process of building a new server and considering using ASM. The
configuration is as follows:

2 disks - RAID 1 - SLES11/Oracle 11gR2
12 disks on a raid controller to be used for Oracle.

Traditionally I have used RAID 10 or RAID 1 depending of type of files being
stored on the logical disk. Data on RAID 10, control, redo, and archive on
RAID 1.

How would you divide up the 12 disks between control, redo, data, and FRA?
Would you use hardware RAID instead of the built-in Oracle mirroring and
striping?

There doesn't seem to be any good documentation out there to give best
practices relating to using hardware RAID vs ASM redundancy.

Thanks,
