Well for a simple deployment of 4 routers one at each site I would like to
hear ppls views what solution is better?

If I make router1 the hub and 3 spokes then use rip or ospf if they are
running eigrp on the mpls then it will be pretty easy to configure correct?
All i need to do is do my dmvpn config and enable the routing protocol. It
will learn the same routers it knows via eigrp with a higher AD so they
won't be put in the routing table. if at any point any of thethe eigrp
neighbors go down and they lose routes from prefered eigrp ad then the other
backup routers will be installed in the table for the respective routers
that had the mpls failure...I will not be doing redistribution into the
respective routing protocols. can anyone see any issues with this
configuration listed above?

If i where to configure it the other way and do a single eigrp process for
dmvpn and mpls I would put on the tunnel interfaces a higher bandwith and
set the variance command under the routing process so they are not unequal
cost load balanced. again if a single mpls neighbor relationship went down
eigrp would already have a backup path and switch over faster. Can anyone
see any issues with this configuration?

Point of view time which one do you think is better?
