Getting it right quality wise (lowest latency, lowest packet loss) means a LOT of hand-tuning and comparing traces etc. Doesnt get much better although there's a few BGP optimizing appliances out there like RouteScience that are supposed to do much better, but at a high cost and prolly not suited for all situations.
