for us, ospf works fine. and in our testing, bgp was much slower to respond to network events. each of our sites has a pair of openbsd boxes clustered via carp. each site has two different isps. this adds up to quite a few different paths to/from each site. on multiple occasions, we've received calls from our providers regarding outages on isp links that we use by default (weighted via ospf) that we weren't yet aware of because ospf just worked as it should have and nobody had noticed. of course, we now monitor such things, but the point is that ospf has been great for us in this configuration.
