EIGRP connection to backbone routers

From what I can gather, configuring a router as an EIGRP stub is
desirable when it's a spoke. If there are no other routers in the EIGRP
autonomous system, the two methods work the same.

The distribute list has the advantage of denying updates to a specific
neighbor. If you're being asked on the real exam to keep updates from
flowing to a specific neighbor, I would think a distribute list is in
order.

Configuring a router as an EIGRP stub affects not just one neighbor, but
all of them, present and future.

Anyone care to comment?

Subject: EIGRP connection to backbone routers

I have come across several sample scenarios where, say, Rx is connected
to a backbone router and they run eigrp between them. You are then asked
not to send eigrp updates from your pod (Rx) to the backbone but you
must be able to recieve routes from the bb. Two different solutions seem
to be forthcoming:

1) Rx: router eigrp 10
        distribute-list 10 out e0/0

access-list 10 deny any

2) Rx: router eigrp 10
        eigrp stub receive-only

If we were faced with this in the lab, provided that no other specific
information was provided, do you think either solution could be used. Or
have I missed some subtle difference between the two approaches?

Cheers,

Chris
