For ISL, I know they are trying to phase that out. For the exams, they are based on dot1q.....
Even if I had all cisco equipment, I'd try to go with standards because you never know down the road where you may need to use another vendor.
I wouldn't use EIGRP if given a choice, I'd go with OSPF or RIPv2.
The main problem with this is RIP sucks and there aren't a lot of people out there that are really good with OSPF. For every one legit design and implementation of OSPF, I've seen 50 with every thing in 0 and config statements everywhere. For companies that don't have real dedicated networking people, EIGRP is much more easy to admin and troubleshoot. tv
