Much easier to setup, operate & maintain than MPLS and obviously much lower cost. Based on 6-months production experience, my recommendation would be to stay away from MPLS in the campus.
I'd be curious to hear what MPLS-specific issues you faced in the 6 months you had to operate such a network. Been running IP/MPLS Core, Edge and Access networks for over 15 years, and apart from bugs which affect any protocol or feature implementation, I can't say it has been a nightmare to operate to the point of not recommending it. I have far fewer words to say about STP, although - I'll admit - I've never run TRILL. Mark.
