First of all, if you feel you need routing at gigabit-speeds, you probably need layer 3 switching. A Cat 4000 or 6500 with an RSM would do nicely. Of course, if this is anything but on paper, you've probably priced yourself out of the market.
As for the GBIC question... Are you talking about the 2 connectors on a fiber GBIC? If so, you need both for one connection. One is transmit and the over is receive and they need to cross; Tx to Rx, Rx to Tx.
