As this is internal, we can reasonably trust the servers, 
since they are under the management of the the Network team.

However, we do have strict routing policies for the IGP 
redistribution between OSPF and IS-IS that permit only the 
Anycast address from the servers, and nothing else.

We don't even allow the server to see the router's Loopback 
address (not that that adds any extra level of security, 
but...).

Using the IGP works well for us because we can always be 
sure that cost (which for us is latency + bandwidth) is 
always true, and uninfluenced by any potential BGP factors.
