The ISP doc already mentioned is really very good. If you do only one
thing, be a good net citizen and implement unicast reverse path forwarding
checks where applicable :-)

Also check out:

Secure IOS Template by Rob Thomas
http://www.enteract.com/~robt/Docs/Articles/secure-ios-template.html

It's quite good. I've used it as a starting point to generate access router
security templates along with the Cisco docs already mentioned.

The NSA doc is lots of general fluff, I found. However these are also good,
if slightly dated:

Phrack's "Building Bastion Routers Using Cisco IOS"
http://www.phrack.com/show.php?p=55&a=10

"Designing Network Security" by Merike Kaeo -- Cisco Press

SANS's Cisco Anti-Spoof Egress Filtering

Cheers,
