5 things, Bandwidth, Delay, Reliability, Load and MTU.

I used to use the "Big Dogs Really Like Meat" acronym when I was first  
learning about it to help remember :)

Most people should really only need to worry about the first two when  
modifying for redistribution, that is bandwidth and delay, the  
remaining 3 can generally just be set to 255 1 and 1500 respectively,  
unless you see fit to change them for a specific reason.

As for your config, for starters try removing your default-metrics for  
each routing protocol as it appears you've added them not really  
knowing why you have, best to leave these as default for now, as for  
redistributing this is where you do want to specify them so the  
protocol knows how to treat these foreign routes and how to advertise  
them to it's peers.

Also it's very unwise to redistribute protocol's both-ways, you are  
asking for a routing loop, you should only need to do this one-way,  
what is your reason for doing it both ways?

Have a read of http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/103/eigrp-toc.html  
especially the redistributing section.
