Here's some off the top of my head:
OSPF is a standard, EIGRP is a proprietary Cisco protocol.
OSPF lacks robust filtering capabilities since only LSAs are exchanged,
whereas EIGRP doesn't have this limitation.
EIGRP is susceptible to scalability problems if you don't take advantage
of summarization, i.e. the SIA (stuck-in-active) problem. OSPF doesn't
have anything like the SIA problem.
EIGRP should converge faster because the feasible successor is already
known, but probably not that much faster than OSPF.
OSPF supports more of a hierarchy than EIGRP because of the concept of
areas.
I'm sure there are more reasons, but these I think are the big ones.

Subject: OSPF over EIGRP !!!!
Hi All
Just wondering if anybody can help me here. I am looking for information
regarding using OSPF over EIGRP. Why would it be better to use OSPF over
EIGRP or visa versa.
Cheers
