There have been plenty of threads arguing for/against BGP-based vs.
LDP-based pw signaling.

Technically, modern kit should be able to scale well with either
solution. IMHO, it's just a case of what you find simpler.

Some folk find BGP-based signaling simpler than LDP-based signaling, and
vice versa.

Both are mature solutions today that will work and continue to be
well-supported.

We find LDP-based signaling simpler than having this in BGP, considering
all that is needed is just to setup a simple p2p pw. We don't do VPLS,
and don't do l3vpn's either, so don't rely that much on BGP for anything
else beyond vanilla iBGP/eBGP routing.
