what do you think is better?

I'm not a native English speaker, but maybe "Have you installed your system on software RAID?" or "Did you install..."?

dodialog yesno "Do you have your system installed on software raid?" "" "" "default=no"

Something like that would be acceptable. You basically just need a subject in that sentence, to answer the question "What do you have installed on software raid?".

If this question is asked before the installation, it should be:
"Will your system be installed on software RAID?"

Otherwise if this question is asked afterwards during configuration, it should be:
"Is your system installed on software RAID?"

If this is a mkinitcpio configuration question, you should ask: "Does your system require software RAID support?"
