The MED, and if they are cisco routers, the weight. If you want to prefer
router C for outbound traffic, then logically, you want inbound traffic to
come the same way. The local pref is not passed to the Peer, so it would
only affect outbound traffic. Addittionally <SP> the MED has more
"influence" than the Local Pref

Here is a question I am just going to throw out there:
Look at the example below. Router B has two connections out of its network
to router D, one through router A and router C. All are running eBGP. What
is the best way to get Router B to use Router C, using the MED or the
Local_Pref? Why?
<D> --------------<C>
