Sack, the answer will really depend of your goals and network design, I think you would rather check out the white papers from Cisco about DMVPN and scalability and design:

The main advantage of OSPF is that its based on open standards, so if you decide to migrate to some other vendor you would not be stuck with a proprietary technology (eigrp). However Cisco recommends EIGRP for DMVPN, see pg 2-9 on the below PDF:
