point to point and multipoint OSPF interfaces

hi folks
  typically in my labs, when I've been building a hub&spoke setup,
I've configured the hub to me a point-to-mutilpoint ospf network type,
left the spokes as point to point, and tweaked the hello/dead timers
to make sure it works.

  It was suggested to me recently that this was a bad idea and that
there have been problems, unspecified, with this setup. I've yet to
see anything to confirm this. Assuming the lab doesn't insist upon
using one or the other, I'd be inclined to do what I've said. Anyone
got reasons why I shouldn't?

cheers
Danny
