You could add them to one pool, and then create multiple filesystems
inside the pool. You total storage would be the sum of the drives'
capacity after redundancy, or 3x2tb + 750gb + 1.5tb.

It's not recommended to use different levels of redundancy in a pool,
so you may want to consider using mirrors for everything. This also
makes it easier to add or upgrade capacity later.
