But also I am open to other brands. Especially If anyone has
experience on that this matter would be very very helpful. I have seen
that Sun has quad 10gbE adapters:

I am not sure if FreeBSD supports that?
could you please explain ANY CASE when 4*10GbE/s could be utilized.
it's 5 GIGABYTES/s each direction. computer memory subsystem is rarely
faster
2) Do you suggest fiber or copper?
depend of what you connect to.
3) Which bus option to use ? As far as I see intel has both (Pci
Express and PCI-X not sure if their PCI Express cards are PCI Express
2.0 for pcie2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express shows
significant performance boost)
anything slower than PCIe 4-lane is slower than single 10GbE port.
PCI-X is AFAIK 500MB/s so you won't get much
