In my opinion, the most optimal way of mapping FE using virtual concatenation is
using VC-12-46v that allows for full rate and has 99.9% of bandwidth utilization.
The two option you propose don't allow to have full rate: in this case the
optimal mapping depends on the bandwidth you wish to provide.

VC-3-2v: 96768 kbit/s
VC-12-42v: 91392 kbit/s

In my opinion they can be managed with the same complexity.

most equipment i have seen can support various options - the other
main one is VC-4

>Is there a significant difference in the tthroughput?

it all depends on the overhead.

vc12-xxv is useful if you are short of capacity and wnat to allocate
bandwidth to a fractional speed link in 2 Mbps chunks (eg over a
microwave backhaul).

definitely (at least when things go wrong / get complicated) - which
may be why this is what i have seen in in every case bar 2.
