If it's 1Gb iSCSI, then the drive back end probably doesn't matter because your big bottleneck will be that 1Gb connection. If it's 10Gb, then it'll start to matter much more.

What if you have a dedicated LUN that is connected with a Microsoft iSCSI initiator, but the volume that is carved off is part of a 46 drive pool that has other LUNs with ESX virtual machines?

Ah, I really like saying that. "It depends". :) And, as is so often stated, it truly does depend and that is why logging IO usage patterns over time to the individual data files is so important so that you can know what can be shared and what needs dedicated spindles for throughput.
