No one ever got fired for using intel nics, it's worth it for the time it'll save.

Tell that to Red Rock Canyon adopters
ebay has cheap intel gigabit nics which i havent had issues with
I think anything with an intel chip is golden. I have single port intel gigabit nics in all my boxes and zero issues
Intel or Mellanox are both pretty solid.
We use mostly Qlogic/Broadcom adapters at work, but i think it depend mostly on what hardware you use. Check compatibility lists
Yeah i didn't read thoroughfully your post and my suggestion might not be the best recomendation for your case...
For older Gbit intel NICs have a look here: https://forums.serverbuilds.net/t/demystifying-intel-pro-1000-quad-port-nics/2401
Especially the virtual nic support used by VMs is only optimized on some of their chipsets.
I hear the latest two 2.5gbit capable generations from Intel have some stability issue though, but I didn't have the chance to dig into it. Probably still better than Realtek NICs though.
That's a useful post. Thanks.
