Ok guys,
 
So to be on the safe side we should try to hard code router-id as loopback interface (loopback 0) for ospf and eigrp and not arbitary ip address(3.3.3.3) to avoid any conflicts and to avoid loss of us$1250.00. Thanks all.

Marvin and Brian are absolutely correct!

Take it from my real life lab exam experience regarding "duplicate Router ID
in OSPF"!!!

Let just say it almost cost me $1,250.00 plus hotel and air fare!!!!! :)
