When I originally installed my first WS2012 system (running WSUS, DHCP, WDS), I created simple volumes on the drive as I've always done. OS is installed on a 150GB drive, and I have a second 300GB drive that's providing storage for WSUS, WDS, and who knows what else I'll do with the 70% of that drive that WSUS/WDS will never use.
I'm familiar with the concepts and intents for Storage Spaces, but is there any compelling reason to use Storage Spaces on a single-spindle drive? If not, then I'm happy to just leave it as it is and invest my time in other endeavors.
