10 Gbit Ethernet makes sense if you need over 110MB/sec throughput with sequential reads/writes with large block sizes.. that's what 1 Gbit ethernet can give you.
You can also bond 1Ge ports to get higher throughput. Buying an ethernet switch that supports bonded ports is quite a bit cheaper than 10Ge if you don't need to go all the way to 10G while giving substantial performance boosts.
