I'd vote for the former. The last time I built a machine myself all the
desktop motherboards I have considered came with 2 gigabit NICs
integrated on-board. On the other hand, we now have more than 50 PCs
around here (not counting rack-mounted servers) and I can count on one
hand how many times did we have to replace NICs in the last couple of
years.
