If your an all Cisco shop and don't cringe at the thought of running
proprietary protocols I would go with EIGRP. I have found EIGRP to
converge quicker without tweaking then OSPF, EIGRP is easy to implement
and takes much less thought, scales pretty well and is pretty reliable.
anecdotally I have converted more networks from OSPF to EIGRP than the
other way around.
