One point is that you can easily add more disk to a RAID5, and it's fast
enough for most things.

Personally I use JFS mounted on RAID5, no LVM. Not for TV recordings
though, they are just on a single partition as I don't care about them.

Always remember, RAID is for uptime, backups are for data security.
