Haven’t used QNAP devices specifically, but we have had better performance mounting iSCSI LUNs for data drives via the MS Windows initiator rather than mounting them in VMware and the creating a VMDK for Windows to use…

Any experiences you can share? On a related note, I'm thinking of adding some iSCSI datastores in addition to the ones already presented via FC from my EVA. Any reason that's not a good idea? We have a number of VMs that don't have significant I/O requirements (think WSUS servers and the like) that I'm thinking of moving off of the expensive storage to an inexpensive iSCSI solution such as a QNAP array.
