There is an issue with using the 0.0.0.0 mask, but it's version dependent.
Let's say you have:
netA--R1--netB--R2--netC--R3--netD
eigrp--R1--eigrp--R2--ospf--R3--ospf
R2 does mutual redistribution
R3 does not see netB
Some ios versions won't redistribute netB regardless of whether you have
0.0.0.0 or 0.0.0.255. Newer ios versions (all 12.2 and some 12.1 I believe,
correct me if I'm wrong) will redistribute netB regardless. Personally, I
always use the 0.0.0.0 mask and redistribute connected into OSPF just to be
safe.
