Sorry, I neglected to answer that part of the question :)

If you've got no need for a dedicated card, there's virtually no
difference.  Why would you *need* a dedicated card?

  - You want more than one network (10.0.0.0/24 and 10.1.1.0/24)
  - You need more bandwidth
	- You're testing arcane network configurations, kernelspace code or
	network devices
	- You need multiple MAC addresses for some bizarre reason

So in general, having multiple addresses on one card is considered A
Good Thing.
