It would be based, in my case, on VLANs I have to support and throughput I need to guarantee on those those lines. I always have those in HA so 4a+5a for one connection (if you use ifgroups it would be similar except that extra IP would be deployed). Best practice comes from your requirements. I would say, try to have DD ports hooked to core
you can get as create as you like, i have two 10G connections in an LACP port channel and then configure multiple VLANs on top of that. This allows me to support multiple clients on multiple networks and avoiding sending the backup traffic through firewalls.
OP - are you asking about a DD2500 as "10Gbe model"?
i.e: it has 2x 10Gbe ports and 4x 1Gbe ports - stock and onboard.
Why would you also specify further 10Gbe optional I/O models?
The 2x 10Gbe onboard ports are 10GbaseT (10000BaseT) ports that would need Shielded twisted pair Cat6A or Cat7 cables, on an RJ45 port. Or you can just run them as 1Gbe instead, with bog standard Cat6 (or 5e).
The option cards are either 10Gbe Twinax (copper) or 10Gbe LC ports (optical) - which are much more prevalent in most customer Network environments.
Though I think further 10GbaseT cards can be purchased as another option card, if your environment supports that medium and you need more of them.
