peering with another major provider? Do you just send half of your traffic to that provider to nowhere? If you want fault tolerance against connectivity losses, you need full routes.
I tried partial... after changing which upstream provider was my 'default route' a few times I quickly realized this was stupid. Ram and CPU is cheap enough to make full routes, even on a Cisco, a VERY desirable thing.
