We generally do one RD, RT per VRF, same RD across multiple PEs the VRF is configured (extended import/export policies aside)
We also attach standard communities to VRF prefixes (yes, astonishing thing to do) since our standard community scheme does all the stuff like identifying the originating router/site/customer/routing policy etc.. We currently use a system of route reflectors and have no issue where we have multi-PE homed CE (other than where we do as-override where we set SoO per PE) would be interested on some expansion of oli's comments on convergence, and why differing RDs for the same prefix would be a good thing (I'm imagining perhaps if you want to do multipath then they are considered multiple paths as opposed to simply just selecting one because RD is the same?)
