ISL standards

Are these reasonable arguments to make:

On the core switches,
-Consider ISLs on 12-port or 24-port blades compared to 48-port blades on a core switch?
-Instead of dedicating couple of line cards for ISLs,distribute them from where the storage ports connected so that request doesn't need go through the back plane?
-Also using 48-port on the core,each port is only giving 1Gb? so each edge switch needs to have more connections to achieve the kind of bandwidth a 4gb port provide.

Or Using 48-port is fine to expand to many edge switches?
