Generally for a connection like this, I'll force 1000/full to ensure no mismatches.

You'll have performance problems if the media converter doesn't auto negotiate ethernet speed and duplex properly. Sometimes what some people do in that situation is use a switch with more than 4 GBIC slots - you can get a 24-port GBIC blade for Catalyst 6000 switches, for example. I'm not saying you should replace your switch infrastructure with such a massive and expensive beast, but you could do something similar.
