NetApp makes a benchmark utility called postmark that should help. It can also help stress test your setup too. I suspect that NFSv3 mounts over UDP would give the best performance. Though TCP mounts on the NetApp are supposed to be be pretty fast too. NFSv3 should be significantly faster than NFSv2 because of better directory handling.
