Those who claim that every word from the Talmud is Holy and Min Hashamayim, would seem to accept a very aggressive form of Elu vo'Elu. Since everything in the Talmud matters, each and every opinion is valid and Holy. It follows that they all must be treated with reverence - even though practically speaking we may need to select just one opinion as normative.
How about amongst current Rabbis? Are they expected to view all their colleagues and B'nei Plugta as teaching valid Torah - even when they disagree? Does this imply a need to be m'chabbeid ze et zeh?
Or do we allow Rabbis to define arguments as "wrong" and their proponents as harboring illegitimate sheetot, etc.?
How does the Torah view Elu vo'Elu amongst contemporary Poskim?
How does the secular Meedah of Win-Win play out in a Torah Society?
