Host with 2 NICS + iSCSI - Best Practice?

$

Hi,

 

I'm sort of new in virtualization and although I have some knowledge about network administration, but i'm not really a network administrator, so the question might be dumb

 

Recently the company I work for (small company)  bought a server in wich we are implementing some virtual machine on vmware ESXi.

 

The server has 2 NICs, and we have about 10 VM's on a NAS that is connect by iSCSI.

 

I was wondering what is the best practice for the network implementation.

 

Should I :

 

-  use a single vSwitch with the 2 NICs and connect all VM's on that vSwitch along with management network.

-  use 2 vSwitch, each with it's own NIC, 1 for all VM's and other just for de management network (i'm not using vMotion or other "extras")

-  distribute 50% of the VM's between the 2 vSwitch along with managment network

- other idea?

 

Thanks!
