Sami,

There is no "best" way to configure BGP peerings ;) "Generally", IBGP
links are established with Loopbacks (no single-hop restriction here),
and eBGP with physical interfaces

(but note the "disable-connected-check" option with eBGP, that is designed
specifically for "Loopback" eBGP peering ;)

You may choose any way you find reasonable, and satisfying requirements
of the task (e.g. redundancy, load-balancing, etc).

I just recommend you to be consistent here, not to mess the things :)

With real lab, you should carefully check restrictions and wording, to
deduce the way of peering. If there is nothing that points out to specific
stuff, you may use whatever you prefer :)

HTH
