The SAN has redundancy built in so that is why I am leaning towards it.
Err......
Check with your SAN vendor that whatever form of 'redundancy' they have is certified to work with SQL Server databases, otherwise your 'redundant' copy may be a waste of bits.
Everything that I said about HA/DR stands, redundancy in the SAN or not. HA/DR design starts with your SLAs, not your hardware.
