if you're depending on ISP dynamically assigned space, you're going to be doing PD and SLAAC. DHCPv6 is out without extraordinary pain. that also means that if you want to use host names internally, you're figuring out dynamic DNS updates on every device in your house or dumping ND tables and having some "smart" machine update DNS.
one single HE /48 may be less painful than this.
it's sad that 20+ years after most of the core IPv6 stuff was in RFCs, IPv6 support in gear still sucks on so many devices.
