You'll be better off paying attention the transit times on traceroute than hop count. A closer site may be slow than one with a larger hop count. I've found that in my case. I've found some that are 4 or 5 hops closer that are over 60ms longer. eg 11 hops at 110ms vs 15 hops at 37ms. I've always used the further route because it was the fastest of the ones I had tested. Thanks to your post, and I had not realized there were now 17 cvsup servers, I started traceroute on all of them and found another 11 hop that trimmed 12 seconds off of my previous faster link. Down to 27ms - but my servers are in a well-connect colo -L3. My shortest hop count was over 60ms. So you need to test for your site.
