  I'm currently using Debian Sarge + Sid in a similar setup.  The only
 decision I made was that I was going to have a "normal" root, to avoid
 any booting issues.

  So I have a 7Gb root partition with no raid/lvm, and then raid + lvm
 partition holding my domains.

  This might not be what you had in mind, but it is a nice safe setup
 if you can spare downtime in the event of root-partition trouble.

  Debian will give you grub.
