I would say it depends on what they are trying to accomplish... For example, we are a multi-homed ISP. We receive full BGP routing tables from both upstream providers. Our connections are used to do two things...
1. Provide redundancy 2. Distribute traffic between the 2 connections. We use the MED value for all inbound BGP updtaes. Basically we say if there is a shorter AS Path via path 1 then take it, if not take path 2 which is our larger "pipe". Now for our traffic coming back to us, we use the AP-Path prepend to try as hard as we can to get traffic to come back thru our larger "pipe". But like I said it depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
