NAS RAID suggestion

I am building a "new" server with FreeNAS for my main storage. It contains 12 of 3TB SAS drives, they all used. This will be my main storage server so I am not sure which RAID configuration I should choose from.

3x 4 drives raidz1 in strip (~raid50)

2x 5 drive raidz2 in strip (~raid60)

RAID60 would be my choice from those. 

 

You will obviously lose a bit more capacity, but RAID 6 protects from drive failure during the rebuild process, as well as generally giving you a bit more leeway when one drive dies.
