The only two bond modes that will definitely work point to point are static etherchannel (balance-xor) and LACP (802.3ad). They correspond to the Windows Static Teaming and LACP. LACP is preferred in all cases when it is available.
And they are completely independent from load balancing mode.
Correction. balance-rr actually combines aggregation and load balancing and is a static etherchannel. This still applies only to the packets from Linux to Windows - distribution in another direction is entirely up to Windows and it does not have round robin (at least, standard teaming driver; it is quite possible that additional software for your NIC has it).
