Default Which Hard Drive to go for?

Hi,
I want to buy as new hard drive but have a dilemma:

I have the following options:
1) Buy 1X 160GB SATA hard drive - $130
2) Buy 2X 80GB EIDE drives and use RAID - $110
3) Buy 2X 80GB SATA hard drive and use RAID - $160

Between the first 2, does SATA go faster than EIDE RAID or does EIDE RAID go
quicker than a serial ATA solution.

Depending on which you recommend from the 1st 2, is it worth the price
difference to get the 3rd option. Its almost $50 more.

Please advise on which of the above I should look into, or, if you have more
recommendations, please let me know.

Thank you
