Since the performance of bonnie++ deals with single threads/a raid1 would probably closely match it but yeah I could do that sometime.

Not in particular, just I could never find this information provided anywhere

The sequential input and output and re-write speeds are the most important.

Yes, after the creation of each array, mkfs.xfs -f /dev/md3 was run to ensure
a clean mount and cron was also off throughout all testing.
