Well,

You need a boot partition on non-raid 5 if I remember correctly,
because you cannot boot from it.

So this means you need a boot partition in raid1 x 3 drives, Install
mbr (1 line command) on each drive so that each drive can boot.
Everything else is raid5 and swap. I would also suggest using lvm for
your partitions so that you can expend/shrink/resize them any time you
want without data loss.
