I've used NFS and USB boot and can't see any benefit.
Currently I use the solution MilhouseVH described with a USB flash, i.e., SD to boot, USB to hold Storage partition. Boot is very fast, around 20-25s but it depends on the flash drive you use.
Anyway, for me boot times are a moot point. My RPis are always on.
The current config I use -> boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=/dev/sda1 (disk=LABEL and disk=UUID gave me problems a few weeks ago and I haven't bothered debugging).
** EDIT **
I keep my SD cards locked! No corruption.
