Majority of Networks are running OSPF and a few larger ones like UUNET are
running
ISIS. For the most part, you will never need run ISIS. 
My recommendation would be to implement OSPF, it has a lot more knobs for
tuning. 
If you are careful, you can even run OSPF and EIGRP together during the
migration period
and migrate one site at a time without any down time.

percentage of global IP networks currently using OSPF Vs EIGRP and any
recent trends towards one or the other ?
