Rob, If your network environment is IP based, and if MPLS support is on your backbone's growth path, you'll be better off using OSPF now.
On top of that, OSPF offers faster convergence time, and is Industry Standards compliant (allowing your company to use non-cisco gear as well, i.e. Juniper/Foundry/others, unless your company wants to remain a cisco "shop"). So, from a routing protocol stand point, you shouldn't have interoperability issues using OSPF.

We are in a big debate about the routing protocol, we are currently EIGRP. I have collected lots of info off Cisco's Web site about the two but wanted to hear it from the Engineers in the trenches. What's your take on it? If it were you what would you run (EIGRP, OSPF) and why?
