I personally don't mix transit and peering duties on the same device. I have a dedicated router for peering sessions and a dedicated router for each transit provider.

This. A dedicated peering router also ensures you eliminate providing transit to a peer if you make a configuration error, as the peering router neither carries the DFZ nor 0/0, ::/0. Mark.
