Why not use isis or ospf? Both are fully vendor neutral, and they both
support mpls networks properly. EIGRP has some interesting features, but
the vendor tie-in cost is way too high to even consider using it. IGP
migration is quite do-able, even for large networks, and all cisco devices
which speak EIGRP will also speak at least ospf, if not isis.
