Is it recommended to use GFS on a shared SAN LUN, or CLVM ? Or GFS on top of
CLVM volume? 

I think plain CLVM should be fastest.. and obviously LVM volumes for domU

Any other things to take in account when choosing storage method for live
migrations.. any problems with online resizing of the filesystem and/or VG? 

Thanks!
