there is no such thing as a "redistribution timer", the timers you've
mentioned are related to hello/adjacency management, i.e. to declare a
neighbor dead. Once EIGRP or BGP notice a route going away (for whatever
reason), this will be reflected pretty much immediately in the other
routing protocol and updates will be sent. You need to take into account
protocol-specific timers such as minimum-advertisement-interval for BGP,
but there is no delay in the actual redistribution mechanism..
