In many labs you need a multipoint interface as the hub.
Generally if the lab doesn't specifically restrict you then sometimes the
choice of ptp or multipoint is down to you. Just be careful of the inherent
operation of the different types like subnets etc. Also pay attention to
what is happening later on in your lab (read ahead). The same goes for
broadcast keywords in frame maps, ip ospf network types, split horizon, and
DR priority.
If you are looking for good coverage of the differences in operation and the
effect on IGPs get a used copy of Caslow Bridges Routers and Switches off
Amazon for the price of a happy meal. It's an old book but still the best.
