So, right now, I have 3 HDDs in a RAID 5. I'm soon going to add an X25-M SSD, which will obviously be where the OS and applications go. Now I need to decide on what RAID level I am to adopt on my HDDs.

Anyone have any opinions? Should I leave them RAID 5? Or move them to RAID 0? Or just screw RAID altogether and just use JBOD?
 
I would just leave them in RAID 5. But I guess just skipping RAID entirely and use JBOD is an option. With an SSD there is absolutely no reason to even consider RAID 0.
