General rule of thumb is:

For iBGP peers, use Loopback interface, unless otherwise instructed.
For eBGP peers, use connected interfaces (physical, SVI,
virtual-template), unless otherwise instructed.

If you ask proctor the question, you are more than likely going to
hear "what do you think?" as an answer :-). Why do you think those
answers I gave you are correct... or wrong?
