With 3 drives I would go with BTRFS RAID1. You get half the capacity, can lose any one of the drives, and it is really simple. If you were to add drives later on to increase the array size, I might consider RAID10, but if you plan on sticking with 3 drives, I would go with RAID1 instead. RAID0 offers no redundancy, so I would skip it. RAID5/6 are [not recommended](https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/btrfs-man5.html#raid56-status-and-recommended-practices) for use in production.
