Very similar to me. But I'd recommend using a SSD if under heavy usage.
There's a SP-32 config with 2x480GB SSD, about $15 more. Might be worth it.
For mysql you need soemthing like 2 x SSD RAID1 or better 4 x SSD RAID10
Personally I would go with more RAM, the more you can cache the better! Make sure you optimise your config for the available RAM, caching and innodb buffer.
Most MySQL workloads are read heavy. Increasing your RAM will help you even better than going SSD. So I vote E5-SAT-2
SP-32 as ECC
Estimated Table size and Read/write mix is important to know.
If < 25G, go with the E3 and save some money.
If extremely write-intensive , choice of HWRAID controller (presence of Battery backed cache on it) matters.
Cache everything at every layer.
