NFS Share settings recommendations for use with VMware vSphere

Does anyone have general recommendations for settings to use with VMware vSphere 6.x?

This document has some general (older) guidelines....

Specific questions:
1) Should the recycle bin be enabled or disabled?
2) What is the impact of the Media Folder option being enabled?

Thanks,
Steve

Disabled

Probably has no effect, but I would disable in any case.

I also tried using NFSv4, but has some weird issues when trying to use vMotion to migrate disks between NAS's. Have stayed with NFSv3.
I created a separate volume for NFS on which I disabled caching, as that is the recommendation.

Any reason not to consider ISCSI?
