For ISL=2C I know they are trying to phase that out. For the exams=2C they =
are based on dot1q.....
Even if I had all cisco equipment=2C I'd try to go with standards because y=
ou never know down the road where you may
need to use another vendor.
I wouldn't use EIGRP if given a choice=2C I'd go with OSPF or RIPv2.
