If you are going to buy today, I'd say just get a gigabit for the heck of it.

A properly wired/setup'd gigabit ethernet is much more efficient. I get over 70MBps with my NAS on my gigE switch. I can hardly imagine ever going back to 10/100 again. You might as well just use 802.11n solution.

As of dual NIC, you could achieve better performance by properly wiring and distribute the load on your NICs.

I have dual NICs on my HTPC/stream server. It was an older 2U server with Tyan mobo. The setup ensured that when I'm maxing out my internet connection with torrent, I can still watch my 1080p rips without any delay and wife watching her JP drama off the the streaming feed of the very same server.
