I'm not sure, but I think STP also helps with automatic configuration of ports.

BGP? Really? That's for routing between autonomous systems, not for loop prevention. Let's stick to the actual requirements here.

STP sounds like the obvious choice here. It's designed for loop prevention and automatic port configuration, and it's a standard protocol. Easy decision!
