Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control

I have a network laid out as follows.

The Network


---------- Eth0 - INTERNET x.x.x.x
 LINUX   |
Router1  | Eth2 - LAN   172.16.1.x
         |
---------- Eth1 -Bridge 1a  192.168.1.1
    |
    |
---------- Eth0 - Bridge 1b  192.168.1.2
 LINUX   |
Router2  | Eth2 - LAN   172.16.2.x
         |
---------- Eth1 -Bridge 2a 192.168.2.1
    |
    |
---------- Eth0 - Bridge 2b  192.168.2.2
 LINUX   |
Router3  | Eth2 - LAN1   172.16.3.x
         | Eth3 - LAN2   172.16.4.x
         | Eth4 - LAN3   172.16.5.x
         |
---------- Eth1 -Bridge 3a 192.168.3.1
    |
    |
---------- Eth0 - Bridge 3b  192.168.3.2
 LINUX   |
Router4  | Eth1 - INTERNET 2   x.x.x.x
         |
---------- Eth2 - Bridge 4a  192.168.4.1
    |
    |
---------- Eth0 - Bridge 4b  192.168.4.2
 LINUX   |
Router5  | Eth1 - LAN   172.16.2.x
         |
---------- 

Currently I do no real routing and use mainly IPTABLES to set rules for forwarding.  This
worked great until I got a second source, Now I set up virtual interfaces for each person
I want to go out INTERNET 2 or eth1 on router 4.  

I want to use a routing protocol that will allow these routers to speak to each other.  I
wanted to get feedback on where I could find some GOOD documentation on OSPF or RIPv2.

There are large amounts of computers on each LAN and I want the router to determine which
line is the best to send the packet out.  I would also like the ability to tell it only
send certain types of clients out one pipe.  Does anyone have suggestions for this.  I
would like to keep it a little more low maintenance then my firewall scripts I already
have.  By the way I have swizeet HTB limiting scripts I hope to contribute to the list.

Thanks,
