How to determine which vSpphere 5.5 LACP load balancing type

[vmproteau]

I see there are about 20 different supported load balancing types for LACP in vSphere 5.5. I'm trying to decide which I should use in our environment but not familiar enough with all the factors that might direct me to use one over another. How balanced the load is for each type may be the least important consideration for me as I suspect any of these will be sufficient and an improvement over our existing configuration. I'd like to maximize performance and limit overhead so if there are differences there, they would factor into my decision. In addition, how each configuration handles link failures if there is advantage of one over another. Also if there is a more common configuration, more easily supportable, or best practice recommendation that would help. With these in mind does anyone have information that could help pare down this list?

1. Destination IP address 
2. Destination IP address and TCP/UDP port 
3. Destination IP address and VLAN 
4. Destination IP address, TCP/UDP port and VLAN 
5. Destination MAC address 
6. Destination TCP/UDP port 
7. Source IP address 
8. Source IP address and TCP/UDP port 
9. Source IP address and VLAN 
10. Source IP address, TCP/UDP port and VLAN 
11. Source MAC address 
12. Source TCP/UDP port 
13. Source and destination IP address 
14. Source and destination IP address and TCP/UDP port 
15. Source and destination IP address and VLAN 
16. Source and destination IP address, TCP/UDP port and VLAN 
17. Source and destination MAC address 
18. Source and destination TCP/UDP port 
19. Source port ID 
20. VLAN

Nice one... first read this article which I assume you have since your question seems to have a cut and paste from it:

VMware KB: Enhanced LACP Support on a vSphere 5.5 Distributed Switch

Also this one:

VMware KB: Limitations of LACP in vSphere 5.5

I need to do some more research on this one but I am willing to bet that it depends on your physical switches as well.
