Best Design for 8 x 1Gb NICs with 4 Port Groups

I am using blade servers with the following configuration:

4 on-board NICs

4 NICs on a single Mezzanine card.

On some blades, I need to split these traffic types among them:

Production Traffic

Backup Traffic

vMotion Traffic

Backup Traffic

What is the best design for this scenario?

Which traffic should go on which NICs?

Which should use Active / Active vs Active / Standby?

Thanks!
