If it's cost neutral, I'd go with peering.
Additional vectors / choices are always useful. Plus as your network
grows, you will get a cost benefit from the peering as that is fixed-
cost. (Actually a step function as you upgrade, but you get the point.)
Any2 runs a fine IX. Very few problems. OWB has had some issues with
power in the past, but I think (hope) they are all resolved.
