I'd need a greater discovery of the environment to weigh in with an informed opinion. Blind, I'd recommend connecting the first LTM to the first switch, and the second LTM to the second switch. For the greatest redundancy, you could connect like this:
SWITCH1 SWITCH2
|| ||
|| || Client-side LACP Trunks (client vlans)
|| ||
LTM 1500 =================LTM1500
|| (Mirror/Sync LACP Trunk) ||
|| || Server-side LACP Trunks (server vlans)
|| ||
SWITCH1 SWITCH2
If you have multiple blades in each chassis, you can connect each leg of an LACP trunk into each blade for even greater redundancy. Make sure you check the asic limitations on your switch linecards before assigning ports, most cards oversubscribe the ports so you want to be as optimal as possible in your assignment.
