As far as I can understand the loadsharing is strictly deterministic, so out-of-order frames shouldn't be a problem. I assume the switch itself doesn't care about the difference; we plan to use LACP as we do on all other etherchannels.
AFAIK, etherchannel will select one physical path per flow (based on src/dst ip/mac), so there is no out-of-order to it, nor any load-sharing in the sense that it pays any attention to the link load at all. At least from the Cisco end... I can't speak for all vendors / host adapters.
If it *can* load-share, cisco-to-cisco, I'd love to be corrected; but you need something like EIGRP for that (to really look at "load") or equal-cost paths and per-packet load sharing.
