I dont think you will get any bottlenecks at both. 48x100Mb=4,8 Gb 2x1000Gb=2 Gb =6,8 Gb
The only thing that could be is that the 3548backplane is 5Gb FullDuplex (The 6500 wit Sup1A has for example a "32" Gb backplane.(It is a 16 Gb backplane operating at FullDuplex) But do you really think there could be a 6,8 Gb traffic at your switch? So I think the backplane is not so important here. It is just the thing if you like CatOs or IOS.
