I'm not following your 'leave 192.168.1.88 on ether1' thing here. You do have a loopback interface correct? In MT, this translates to:
/interface bridge add name=loopback /ip address add interface=loopback address=1.2.3.4/32 In this scenario, 1.2.3.4/32 would be accessible no matter what uplink/route is being used. This should be used for your 'router-id' for both OSPF and BGP. Each router on your network should have a unique loopback IP. As you said, you should dump static routing to your providers and utilize BGP. Especially seeing that you have your own prefix from ARIN and presumably you have an ASN. I'm not really sure how the BMU fits in to your design, because I have never used one.
