I would suggest getting Intel Pro/100+ cards. The fxp driver is one of the most stable and well tested ethernet drivers in the tree. The cards are also very fast. And yes, I practice what I preach. Most of the FreeBSD machines at my place of employment use Intel Pro/100B's (82557) or Intel Pro/100+'s (82558). Both work great.
