L3 has the best BGP community support that I've seen from a large

any one provider I would.  Find the good routes, use them, and
pad the bejabbers out of the others.

Communities aren't high-overhead.  Jeez, if you have to update
your RIB often enough for _that_ to make a difference, you'll
have long since been dampened into oblivion.
