Really the best way I've found is to watch packets output/input counters
across member links and see that they are incrementing appropriately.
If not, experiment w/ the different methods, it won't hurt. Destination
Src MAC is usually left alone, but I've changed this a few times.

Trying to figure out which one of the two load-balancing methods will
increase "channel efficiency"? Or is there any other method?

Thanks in advance for any comments.....
