Tom, I'd set up teaming asap before they are promoted. This way they'll register the proper IP in DNS right away. The problematic catalyst were 2850s (that was well over 18 months ago so any hardware running the latest IOS *should* be fine (we patched each nic in a different switch for fault tolerance)
As for load balancing I've don't have any experience with it.

About to become DC's. Do you have anything against switch assisted load balancing? Also, which model catalyst did you have an issue with? Thanks a lot!
