Check out Ken Cline's great vSwitch Debate articles, I believe it's up to 7 now.

Here's the details regarding the load-balancing policies:

where do you want to use it for? pure iscsi traffic, than this link is also worth reading:

Keep in mind that if the source and destination address are always the same no outgoing loadbalancing will occur!
