tagging would be my choice as well.

In general, EIGRP is a real troublemaker when you have EIGRP external
routes to be redistributed to OSPF...I am sure you know what I mean.

In a CCEI lab, when it comes to mutual route distribution via
multi-exit points,
as a rule of thumb, core and stub IGP protocols need to determined.
From stub to core, core protocol only accepts stub routes .
From core to stub, stub protocol denies the reentry of its own routes
from core and accept all other routes. Of course, this method will
require route-map and ACL...

But if stub or core protocol is EIRP, it get more complicated because
EIGRP uses two different AD for internal and external. For example,
if EIGRP redistributes a "already redistributed routes" ( for exmaple,
redistribute connected or eigrp external routes ) to OSPF, and EIGRP
and OSPF run on two routers so multi-exit points...this would be one
of the most complicated redistribution scenario but it will really
help to understand the bahavior of multi-protocol-running router.

Defining internal routes of each routing protocol really helps in many cases.
Sometimes, it is hard to see a routing loop because it converge every
miniute or two. Depending the time you look into routing table, you
never catch that...
