Maybe it's a fake raid?

If so, you better don't trust it. MD (mdadm) would be at leas as fast, 
more reliable and much more standardized/documented.

Whatever distro you use choose, it hardly would run faster or slower 
than another. Clearly, you can always get something slow, if your choice 
is exotic or the hardware is particularly limited.
The common choices are Debian or Ubuntu, CentOS or SuSE, pick the one 
most familiar to you. Or whatever distro you closest guru is using.
Note that OS does not goes between hardware and the hypervisor in Xen 
case. The hypervisor always goes between the hardware and OS, that is 
true for DomU case, and also for Dom0 case.
