biggest disadvantage I can think is if you lose one card, you lose booth ports
+1. If you have multiple physical cards at your disposal you might as well use ports on different cards - at least that way if something dies it'll be easy to diagnose whether it was the whole box or just one NIC.
As Tiernan says, assuming both cards are connected to suitably fast PCIe or PCIX interfaces, it's not going to make much difference to performance one way or t'other.
(personally I'd avoid the Marvell ports if I could - I had very poor performance with Marvell chipsets a few years back)
