vSphere 6.5: LACP or LBT for 4 x 10 GbE uplinks

$

I have read quite a few blogposts about configuration of ESXi uplinks. Many experts prefer LBT over LACP.

I am looking for some good arguments to use LBT over LACP in the following configuration :

 

- about 60 ESXi 6.5 hosts all with 4 x 10 GbE network adapters.

-Netapp NFS storage

-distributed switches

-single tenancy, all management done by same group of IT-admins

-no need for a single VM to consume over 10 Gb of bandwidth

-redundancy of network uplink required

-network traffic: VM lan, vMotion, HA, ESXI management, NFS datastores, iSCSI from guest OS

-keep it simple

 

I am wondering how well LBT is able to detect a link failure, cable error?

What about using host profiles and LACP. Works well?

 

What would be your preferred configuration?

One dvSwitch for all 4 nics, or 2 dvSwitches each having 2 nics? LACP or LBT?

 

Thanks for your help!
