Raid10 provides excellent performance and if performance is a priority then I recommend it, but I was under the impression that resiliency was the priority, as raidz2/raidz3 provide greater resiliency for a sacrifice in performance.

Why are people talking about "RAID-5", RAID-6", and "RAID-10" on this list? This is the zfs-discuss list and zfs does not do "RAID-5", "RAID-6", or "RAID-10".

Because raid10 is shorter to type then pool of mirrors, and for new comers it's easier to grasp these terms. Notice how I refer to raidz/ 2/3 and not raid5/6? Cause it's roughly the same amount of characters.
