The real plus for me using Plex is the ability to stream on multiple devices, including iPad's.
So you have the BluRay burned to HDD? What did you use to accomplish this?

Right now, I am looking at a Raid5 setup with a total of 10-12 TB. This will be connected to a MacMini running Plex.

As others have mentioned, DVDFab is the way to go on this one. Though, admittedly, I don't rip much Blu Ray anymore. I obtain Blu Ray files (aargh) which are sometimes in the 30-50GB range and use Plex to stream them.
