Hi Dylan, I should have said OSPF instead of BGP...sorry about that. That said, I don't know that I can find a document on Cisco's Web site saying "Don't use EIGRP" if that's what you want, since the comments came from Cisco engineers and not some Web document. Cisco, from a marketing standpoint, would love to have you use a proprietary protocol that locks you into their hardware, so you won't find Cisco publications suggesting the EIGRP is pointless.
You could search for "OSPF vs. EIGRP" and look at some of the discussion as to why OSPF is preferable. Experts Exchange has a good discussion. From an interoperability standpoint, unless you plan to run a Cisco-only network, EIGRP doesn't make sense. OSPF also gives you options with OSPF areas that EIGRP doesn't have analogs for. One of our customers in N/W Indiana is a good example of why you'd use OSPF. He has a mix of D-Link switches, ImageStreams, and Mikrotik APs that need to share dynamic routing information. EIGRP isn't an option (even if he had Cisco equipment, which he doesn't). The bottom line is this: OSPF is standards based and widely supported. EIGRP is a proprietary protocol. Enough said.

Jeff, do you have a source for the statement that Cisco now recommends BGP (iBGP?) vs EIGRP?
