Hi ,

Have a look at this document :

Depends on the topology and the location of the source(s) and receives.

If the source and receiver have the layer 3 on the same equipment I would use static RP.

But if you have multi-tier campus,and the src and receiver on different modules of the topology, I would use BSR.

Also I would think about a redundant RP.
