I would say the most interior Routing Protocol that is out there is BGP.
It gives a better control of route announcements.

I don't want to start religous wars on what's the best protocol, I'm rather interested if there is an overview available on the facts of protocols used. Is there an "objective" (vendor-independent) feature-based overview on the compared advantages/disadvantages (especially regarding redistribution) of the various protocols that goes with those numbers?
