Actually single-drives is preferred over RAID-0. Easier to manage in case
of drive failure. Or if you have very many drives and need hands-off fault
tolerance such as in a remote office then use RAID-1.
RAID-1 is in any case recommended for the OS partitions for fault
tolerance reasons. Loss of the OS is kindof tricky to recover fast from,
but loss of a cache drive is simply loss of the volatile data on that
drive.
It should also be noted that Squid currently (and probably not for a
forseeable future) have any real benefits of more than one CPU.

I would use ext2 for /boot. Mostly because there is many more boot loaders
who understands ext2 in case of emergency boot needs. Also journaling does
not really help /boot, only complicates matters.

The other important features which is not in the RH9 provided binary is
* Support for more than 1024 concurrent filedescriptors.
* Many bugfixes <http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.5/bugs/>
