Design question

Hey guys,

Question - if you had two separate Internet links coming into your network, what would you do?

A) stack your switches and connect each link to a seperate switch in the stack, then use ebgp to peer twice and use local pref/ as path/ med/ whatever to manipulate the routing

B) do not stack your switches and connect each link to one switch and run something like ibgp between your switches and ebgp between yourself and the provider?

The core of the question is to stack the switches or keep them seperate? BGP is the protocol in use and behind the switches is a lot of customer services.
