Sami,

Treat the CCIE lab as "do as you are told" and not best practice. If there
are no restrictions you can do as you like as long as you meet the objective
and your configuration does not clash with other tasks further down the
line.

For example what if you are not asked to advertise some of the loopbacks in
the IGP, how will the peering work? What if they ask for only one particular
session to stay up if a physical link(s) fail? Read the whole BGP section
first and then decide how you will do the peering. If in doubt ask the
proctor.
