I've had great luck with the Intel cards: singles, duals and quads. All work great. The tg3 module works for everything else except the stupid PCIExpress card (Belkin) I have for my laptop. That uses the sky2 module and it worked once, I'm sure, maybe even twice. But for servers, the Intels rock. You may even want to try a newer kernel's offloading capabilities with some of the cards.
