One or multiple storage pools?

I have DS923+ with 2x22TB and 2x6TB drives.
Now I'm thinking how to mount them all in NAS...
This is my first NAS so I'm a bit confused.
The easiest option is to create one Storage Pool with 4 drives. The thing is, I'm going to use most of the storage for TV/Movies/etc and I don't really want to waste so much space (around 18 TB) for data redundancy when I can just redownload everything on RAID failure.
Another option is to create one JBOD/RAID0 pool for media (2x22TB) and SHR/RAID1 pool for important data (2x6TB).
Which is the best option? Any ideas? Downsides? What's your setup?

If you don't mind redownloading, then by all means maximize your media storage. Otherwise... 1 pool, 1 SHR volume, btrfs formatted.
 
if one of your disks fails, it will take you a hell of a long time to download 88 TB. why not use shr with btfrs and get 66tb of usable space, and a failsafe if one drive fails?
