Daniel, in short, we've found ISIS to be slightly easier to maintain and

Performance and stability wise, no major difference that was noticable.

For more information, see the talk by Dave Katz at 
http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0006/katz.html

Also, AOL's experience in switching from OSPF to ISIS is covered at 
http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0310/gill.html
the PDF on that page is actually an older version. The full version I 
used at NANOG is available at http://www.vijaygill.com/oi.pdf
