Good thread. I've personally come around to using USB dongles under linux, especially 2.5GB as referenced here:
Some american isp already have 2.5G ethernet output with 1.2gbps/1.1gbps overprovisioned rates under their 1GB fiber plans.
I already have to turn off all offloads using ethtool under my intel pci-e due to potential issues as cited here:

Also some anecdotes here:
ARM gets faster, x86 is already fast, don't use offloads --> So most probably going USB ala realtek for my next adapters.
