Best to stick with known working models, do you want UTP or SFP+?

Look for an Intel model, most should work fine, or the Asus XG-C100C.

Once you install a new NIC card how do you switch to it? Do i simply install the new one login and select it in the network settings of unraid?

unRAID always uses eth0.  If you install a new NIC and it is not eth0, you can assign the MAC address of the desired NIC to eth0 in Settings --> Network Settings.
