HSRP, VRRP, or GLBP

HSRP, VRRP, or GLBP. The big question is...which one? ...and why? Well, me being a Cisco spud, I immediately gravitated to HSRP since that's all I know very well. But before I left, I decided to check out the competition, here's what I found:
Cisco Hot-Standby Router Protocol (HSRP):

• Created by Cisco, for Cisco in 1994
• Uses a default hello timer of 3 seconds with a hold timer of 10 seconds

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)

• Created by the IETF in 1999
• Works between multiple vendors
• Has faster timers than HSRP by default - hello of 1 second, hold timer of 3 seconds

Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP)

• Created by Cisco, for Cisco in 2005
• Identical features to HSRP, but allows an active-active connection that adds load-balancing features

Since this client had no need for load balancing, I decided to go with the VRRP option. The configuration was a piece of cake:
Router1(config-if)#vrrp 1 ip 10.1.6.1 (they obviously used a real IP address)
Router1(config-if)#vrrp 1 preempt
Router1(config-if)#vrrp 1 priority 100
Router2(config-if)#vrrp 1 ip 10.1.6.1
Router2(config-if)#vrrp 1 preempt
Router2(config-if)#vrrp 1 priority 120
