OK, that's on thing to bear in mind then. Since my disks are 300Gb each I can see no great disadvantage in setting them up as two separate volume groups.
Given that you already have 2 disks the same size why not purchase a third and have a 600GB fault tolerant array ? Given the price of 300GB drives these days if you have space in your case it must be worthwhile.
Well maybe! :-)
However, given the reliability of hard disks these days is it really worth it? In the twenty or so years that I've had PCs I don't think I've ever lost data to a hard disk failure, anyway everything that's important is backed up off-site.
