I am setting up 2 Vyatta routers that will serve as redundant

Would be interesting to know how they perform.
Yes, an interior routing protocol would be good. Based on my limited
experience I would recommend that you use either (preferably) OSPF or
possibly Interior BGP (a.k.a. IBGP).
Either is good. For just 2 routers, most dynamic protocols work well.
Older protocols failed in scaling to larger networks. AFAIR, OSPF
support discovered route cost propogation which is useful in route
selection/ load balancing/ECMP etc. Do not remember if IBGP does it. Has
been a while and so a little rusty on finer details.
You could look at things like RIP or ISIS, but neither of them will be
as good or bandwidth friendly as either OSPF or IBGP.
For just 2 routers, the decision is pretty simple - any. I'd go with
OSPF or IBGP depending on comfort, skillset and support at locations needed.
