Best Practice - Physical or Virtual 'Trunking'

I really hope I'm using the term trunking right here. I have a Sophos SG135 which utilizes only the LAN (eth0) and WAN (eth1) ports currently. The other ports are available (eth2 through eth7). I am going to start configuring VLANs on this device but am wondering if I should configure the VLANs on their own interface or configure them on eth0.

The reason I ask is because I'm given the option of using any port when going to create my VLANs. If there's a performance or security benefit to utilizing different physical interfaces, or not, I would love to know.
