We currently have all our nics in the same bond. So we have guest traffic, management, and storage running over the same physical nics, but different vlans.
Which bond mode do you use, out of curiousity? Not sure I would go to this extreme, though; I would still want the physical isolation of Management vs. network/VM traffic vs. storage, but just curious which bonding mode?
Modes 1 and 5 would seem to be the best ones, as far as maximising throughput. I read an article just the other day where a guy detailed how he bonded four 1Gbit NICs in mode 1 (with each on a different VLAN) and was able to achieve 320MB/s throughput to NFS storage.
As far as the storage question, I like to put other storage on the network (smaller NAS devices, maybe SANs for other storage) and would want the VMs to be bale to get at those. Being to use a NIC to carry VM traffic for storage as well as for host access to storage would cut down on the number of NICs I would need to have in each node.
