Jae, We recently benchmarked local, SAN and NFS using a real-world Lucene-based benchmark. For searching we found that SAN was marginally slower than local disks, about 1% slower, while for adding documents the SAN was 3x faster, doubtless because of the high parallelism in the writes. I would say, go with the SAN, there is little to lose and much to gain from a management and distribution angle.
