In a situation when you will want to migrate later
to MPLS, or simply make your reachability information
more transparent, it is better, IMHO, to have all BGP routes
use loopbacks as NEXT_HOP.
There was an argument posted somewhere that in case of such
modification, other routes will be still reachable, even when
your link to eBGP peer is down. But I tend to disagree with this,
because if the link is down, you loose your routes anyway, right?
