Linux router network cards

I'm looking around for networking cards to build a linux based
router. It needs to be able to do XDP, multiqueues, have good in-kernel
driver support and be able to handle 10Gbe with good offloading for
dealing with high packets per second.

What features should I be looking for to really optimize things for a
three transit setup, with full tables.

Something like the Intel XL710-QDA2 card maybe?
