BGP Setup

OK, I've got one DS3 from one provider, and a T1 from another. My DS3 comes into router A, and the T1 into router B. Both routers are accessible via ethernet and have both 10.0.0.x IPs and static ones from a provider.
I've got a full BGP feed from each provider on each router, and I have the two routers setup in a peer group to receive each others routes from the two providers.
I'm running quagga for BGP, so, for example, if I do a "show ip bgp x.x.x.x" it'll show both paths to it from each provider, just like on a Cisco router.
My question is, how do I get routers on the same local lan as these two routers to utilize the "best" path found from BGP?
And I also want to configure these two routers to be a redundant link, so local lan boxes will always have connectivity, should one provider go down, but I'm not sure how to configure that.
Can someone explain what needs to be done for me to accomplish this? Thanks.
