RTFM?
How is the RAID support in fedora, and which version should I use? Is
there a certain chipset I should get or stay away from?
Fedora supports software RAID and many hardware RAID configurations. What
level of RAID are you looking for?
Software RAID is best avoided in systems where the data is critical.
Whats a strategy for easy repair if a drive fails, and will both drives
be exactly the same, or will I have to not RAID the boot sector?
That depends on the controller and what level of RAID you're talking about.
