NICs in ESXi

Hi all,

I'm in the process of virtualizing all my boxes, at home, onto an ESXi 5.5 host and I would like to move my UTM9 installation from an Atom D525 to my ESXi host. I have an Intel i350-T4 NIC 4 port NIC card that I would like to dedicate to the UTM VM. Should I use Directed I/O (PCI Passthrough) and pass the NIC card directly to the UTM VM? Or should I create 4 seperate vSwitches and attach each one to a VMNIC and then use 4 virtual (VMXNET3) NICs in the UTM VM?

Thanks!
