My own approach is similar to what you are thinking:
(a) RAID-5 on my pro-6
(b) duplicated data onsite (in my case 3 copies of everything, including the original).

Going with 3 RAID-1 volumes on the NAS is conservative. One benefit is that it is much easier to recover the data if the NAS itself fails. The cost is that you are allocating 3 drives to redundancy, instead of 1.
BTW, I'd also recommend a UPS (with a USB interface connected to the NAS).
