Both driver sets should work.  I think we see more qlogic stuff in the 
field.

The emulex driver has had some work that makes me not want to trust it 
for use involving "converged" cases -- i.e. I wouldn't want to use it as 
a generic 10GbE adapter, but I don't have any operational experience to 
back that up.
