You are correct..just looked at this again. In newer code the default admin
distance will always win. In older ios (less than 12.2(16)), we would have
installed both routes (static and ospf).

Metric is not used in this calculation, admin distance is. The defualt admin
distance is used when there is a tie. Route preference:

1. longest match
2. admin distance
3. if equal default AD, then use metric to determine best route.
4. if equal metric, loadbalance equal cost paths.

The metric is not used until like routes are found in a single protocol.
Metrics are not distinguishable between different protocols so to use metric
between them would be useless (metric of 20 in ospf and eigrp have 2
completely different meanings). HTH
