Which 10GB card to use with ESXi

Guys,

I am testing out ESXi 4.1 with 10gb NICs.  A whole bunch of them are supported by VMware.  But which one would be better or more relieable.  I am using HP DL380 g7 servers.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Chris, are you still using the QLE3242 cards?

I later abandoned them for reasons pointed out in this post. I've since gone with Emulex UCNAs where possible, even in my home lab.

Interesting. Will bear that in mind, thanks. Keep us updated to any issues again.
