which Redundancy routing protocol on Nexus 9300

Hi

I currently in fight with myself, I want to hear what you would prefer about the routing.

1 = N9K-C9372PX-E
2 = N9K-C9372PX-E
3 = N9K-C9372PX-E
4 = N9K-C9372PX-E

5 = N9K-C9332PQ
6 = N9K-C9332PQ

Nexus 1+2 should have 2 "back to back VPC" connections, one to Nexus 5+6 and one to Nexus 3+4

Below Nexus 5+6 and 3+4 are the FEX Modules N2K-C2348TQ-E (which means that we have to use Firmware: 7.0(3)I6(1) on the N9K to work with that FEXes.

The 4 Nexus N9K-C9372PX-E should be the routers between the customers about 80 Vlans. We want it by using VRRP.

In contrast to a standard Datacenter design we have to forward ALL vlans to all switches from the edge (not really show in this diagram, realized with 2960XR switches) through the complete datacenter.

We DONT have the possibility to change this last thing (all vlans have to be on all switches).

Whitch redundancy routing protocol you would prefer? HSRP or VRRP or something different else?

I found now that the Nexus 9300 did NOT support HSRP in a VPC environmental.
