If your cisco homogenous then go for it, or if you dont mind 
redistributing igp's into eachother, because you KNOW  your going to 
have a device added someday that doesn't speak EIGRP.

I do find EIGRP more "solid".  OSPF has been with us so long, and yet I 
would argue that every single vendor's implementation is broke.  I say 
that because I have never seen bug free ospf.  The whole "Every area 
must be connected to the backbone" thing can really suck for some 
topologies too.  I have heard that alot of NSP's running very large 
IGP's use IS-IS.
