Default which bonding module to use ?

OS: SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP2(SLES10SP2)
HW: HP Proliant DL380 G6
NIC: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet

running 'ethtool' on eth0, and eth2 produces the following output

# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 100Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: Twisted Pair
PHYAD: 1
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: g
Link detected: yes

Question
--------------
I need fault-tolerance, link agregation, and load-balancing
which bonding module(
round robing, adaptive load balancing, etc) is appropriate, or which bonding module should I use ?

when created the bond0 using 'adaptive load balancing' module
# cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0

Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.0.3 (March 23, 2006)

Bonding Mode: adaptive load balancing
Primary Slave: None
Currently Active Slave: eth0
MII Status: up
MII Polling Interval (ms): 100
Up Delay (ms): 0
Down Delay (ms): 0

Slave Interface: eth0
MII Status: up
Link Failure Count: 0
Permanent HW addr: 00:25:b3:22:9c:12

Slave Interface: eth2
MII Status: up
Link Failure Count: 0
Permanent HW addr: 00:25:b3:22:9c:16


when created the bond0 using 'round robin' module
# cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0

Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.0.3 (March 23, 2006)

Bonding Mode: load balancing (round-robin)
MII Status: up
MII Polling Interval (ms): 100
Up Delay (ms): 0
Down Delay (ms): 0

Slave Interface: eth0
MII Status: up
Link Failure Count: 0
Permanent HW addr: 00:25:b3:22:9c:12

Slave Interface: eth2
MII Status: up
Link Failure Count: 0
Permanent HW addr: 00:25:b3:22:9c:16

please suggest/recommend
