  I'd like to know that as well.  I guess some empirical study should give
you the answer though.  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.
