Bare metal on a server at Hetzner. I like keeping things simple.

Running your own RAID on top of a handful of unreliable (probably used) disks is an unusual definition of simple in my book.

If you know what you are doing vs the latest IaaS fad, it's going to be a lot easier and probably cheaper doing that.

When you architecture your stuff correctly, you don't need RAID.

Is there a reason why you would not virtualize (use ESXi/Proxmox, etc) the server?

That's a lot less simple as now you suddenly have multiple machines to handle (even if they're virtual). Whenever I really want something like that, I'll usually use systemd-nspawn or docker depending on the use case.
