Best Practice for File Server with ISCSI SAN

$

What is the best practice of setting up file server using ESX3.5 and ISCSI san ?

My current setup is 2 ESX 3.5 host with HA and DRS enabled on VC2.5.

One ISCSI san box with 3 LUN hosting about 20 VM's in the cluster.

I have about 2Terra left in the SAN that I would like to setup as file storage.

I wonder if its better to map the LUN to the ESX box or use Microsoft ISCSI initiator on the file server ?

Both SAN and ESX has many NIC that is not currently being use, so I can setup a dedicated connection just for this.

Suggestion please..

 

Thx
