If you are looking or some kind of redundancy - i.e. have more then one
link, both solutions can work.
In most cases, if you're sitting as a leaf node and your network belongs to
the address space of your ISP
You don't need BGP at all.
My personal opinion. Kinda "Keep It Simple Stupid".

Sure.

To be clear - if you are connected to just one ISP - you don't need BGP at
all in most cases.
Speaking about the strange management - if you're unable to push them to buy
better equipment
for the task.....

Have you ever tried to run NT on a 386? Not just for fun...
