I would go for whatever mech the hosting router uses to choose for the
best path. In cisco case, that would be comparing AD if metrics are from
different sources.
But lab is the answer, just lab it up :)

EG a metric of 20 to OSPF is a very very good metric infact it is the default metric when you redistribute into OSPF, but to RIP a metric of 20 do not only mean that, the route is dead, it means that the route is DEAD LONG LONG TIME AGO!
