Search Google for BGP Best Current Practices from myself and

Unlike IGP's, BGP supports excellent filtering, so you can 
manage what you need to advertise where, much more easily 
and predictably than with an IGP.

Because you should always assume you will grow. Having to 
re-design the network in the future (or worse, leaving that 
to someone else) should be avoid whenever possible.
