This is difficult to generalize. It will depend on your application IO profile, as well as your underlying disk array. Storage providers have several ways to work around any IO penalties incurred through the use of various RAID flavors. Your application will determine how much and which type of IO you are doing, which will require a certain baseline performance from the disk to perform satisfactorily to you. The big question is how much IO are you looking to do? You can take the underlying disk array, and figure out how much IO you can get out of your disk subsystem, and that may or may not be enough for what you want it to do.
Using vcenter will not make any difference or bearing on the RAID type you use.
The question you need to ask, is how muc I/O do you expect, and then you can figure out if your underlying system can handle it or not.
