VRRP is to HSRP what 802.1q is to
ISL...
I highly recommend using VRRP instead of HSRP because:
1.    It is a more robust protocol
2.    It is vendor agnostic
3.    Being vendor agnostic it is more likely
to have a continuing future.
Does anyone still use ISL?

...rhetorical question perhaps; historically, interesting:

ISL: I last used in 2005
CET: ....2000
