the first option (2 PA-FE-TX) is more performant. 

As stated in http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/770/fn8791_11301999.shtml:

The 2-port Fast Ethernet/ISL port adapter provides inter-virtual LAN
(VLAN) bridging and routing for Token Ring uses, rather than
high-performance Fast Ethernet connectivity. Native Fast Ethernet users
have been advised to use the single-port Fast Ethernet PA-FE-TX or
PA-FE-FX adapters for higher performance.
