MPLS Static Routes vs Dynamic

When using MPLS VPN to a service provider I'm not a huge fan of service provider managed static routing.  I would prefer to inject whatever routes I want to the MPLS cloud.  For this of course you will need to have a CE router advertise BGP to the service provider.  A fully dynamic model would assume you redistribute your entire IGP routing table into BGP and therefore MPLS.   Below is an example of providing individual host routing across the MPLS VPN.  Only the static routes tagged with 100 are advertised into BGP
