Redundant MS Exchange 2010 Servers

Want to setup two MS Exchange 2010 Servers on (2) Win Server 2008 R2 boxes to be redundant servers so if one goes down, the other will stand in.   What would be the workflow?  
 
-  Create DAGS on both servers?
-  Install Mailbox, HUB and CAS on both servers?
-  Make one Active and the other Passive?

Separate the transaction logs and databases onto two different physical disks for each server?

Create DAGS on both servers? - Create DAG on one server and just add the second server as Member

Install Mailbox, HUB and CAS on both servers? - Mailbox a Must and recommended to have HUB and CAS on different servers (CAS Array would be good)

Make one Active and the other Passive? - We have 4 servers in DAG and all hold 2 Databases each for Load balance and no funda of Active-Passive now

Separate the transaction logs and databases onto two different physical disks for each server? - Makes more sense
