Is it better to have 1 large raid of 12 drives or 2 arrays of 6 drives? (zerobytes.monster)

I currently have a 12 bay synology I bought about eight or so years ago that has 12 10tb drives in it as raid 5e.

In the future I want to get another 12 bay synology and begin filling it with 20 tb drives.

I am aware that the more drives the faster the read speeds. I'm looking for the upside and downside of the upgrade.

I mostly download and serve movies and TV shows.

Would I be better off building it as 2 split arrays and lose the extra space to the raid parity twice, or one mare array over 200 tb?

Thank you!
