You should test the speed you want. I recommend using the NAPI driver and
testing different MTU sizes - maybe layer 2 MTU 200 and layer 2 MTU 1450? I
did this with a Cisco router replacement test, but when I did LVS-only test
I just used testlvs unmodified. In my case those test sizes were
appropriate, maybe you want to get the average packet size on your website
and use that.

Test software I used -> http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/ (testlvs)
Hope that helps.
