Rick, P routers are not a lot fun to watch, particularly if you are going to try MPLS VPNs. I would not bother as you have it drawn, but rather make 4 PE routers with crossover cables between. Unless you are a stickler for seeing all sorts of different labeling possibilities...Also, if you do VPNs you will need two CE routers, so there is your 4 in line. Very generally speaking (I can feel the cringing) any IOS after 12.1, either Enterprise or Provider. You will have to plow around the Cisco site to find the particulars for the given platform. As to where they should go, if all you are doing is studying it won't much matter as long as the routers have the memory to load the images. You are not doing speed tests I presume. There is plenty of written material both on the Cisco website and in the bookstores.
