Any advice on installing the OS onto the USB stick? Things I should do or not do?

You could... You would want persistence, the manual has info for setting up in LL5.x ... But may still be slow...
But if it was me... and depending how you planning to set the 4 disks up... RAID etc etc etc ..
Might want to look/try LVM, allocate space to a Volume Group(s) with Logical Volumes - you can carve up and expand in the future as needed (depending how much space).
I have my LL4.8 laptop set up with LVM - at work we use this the majority. But I wanted to play with LVM's in "Ubuntu" more so LL it is.. It worked better to create the LVM ahead of time then install - if you go this route....
