Their are no hard and fast rules to answer questions like this. How are
the remotes connected? What type of media/speed?
do the remotes have other external connectivity other than the link to
area0? do any of the remotes inject external routes (redistributing from
other protocols)?
If the remote links are slower circuits, then I would definitly try to
make these totally stubby areas if possible.
Let me also say, that when dealing with a network with 300 routers, alot
more information is needed than below to properly design the OSPF. i
would think at a minimum a good topology map and list of protocols,
interfaces, media at each router location.
