In that case, you could consider also using 8-way or 7-way raidz2 (with hot spares)
Or go to raidz3 which sounds like it’d be similar to the 3 disk parity of the net app
But to answer your question, 4-way raidz2 is more resilient than mirrors, at the cost of some efficiency and performance.
But it seems like 3x 5-way RaidZ2 + 1 hot spare could be a very good compromise.
