Selecting a preferred route when using EIGRP

We have a hub and spoke architecture with all remote sites being connected
to and accessing servers at the central site. EIGRP is the routing protocol
and remote sites need to communicate to central site only and not to each
other.

We will be having two physical frame-relay T1 pipes at central site to the
frame relay provider's cloud. These two will be terminating to different
head end routers at central site. We will be having two PVCs each for remote
locations and these PVCs will terminate on different head-end routers.

I need to make half of the PVC active on first head end and remaining PVC on
second head-end.
When one of the head-end routers goes down the PVC on second should
automatically become active.
I know I will have to do changes to the EIGRP config of routers at remote
locations (EIGRP variables delay, offset, AD, BW etc.)

I am considering the various options for selecting a preferred route when
using EIGRP as detailed in the document at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/103/14.shtml#O2

This is a very common scenario and I want to check how people do it
normally? Appreciate any thoughts, ideas and concerns.

TIA
