BGP, for all customer stuff, BGP. LDP only for IGP labels, and hopefully
not even that in 3 years time.

For VPLS if you're already doing discovery via BGP, running tLDP is just
additional complexity you don't need. LDP clearly scales poorly, BGP is
O(1) session to cater n remote PE, LDP is O(n)

If you're not doing discovery via BGP, configuration is awkward and complex
compared to L3 MPLS VPN.
