As a private user, as long as I remember the prefix assigned to my connection I much prefer having a stable [prefix]::dead:beef or ::f007:1 and ::f007:2 etc compared to the ever-changing 85.nnn.nnn.nnn v4 address. Or simply just /think/ of it as a /112 subnet with [prefix]::0001-ffff available - still room for 65535 addresses in that one, more than I'll ever need. No need to rely on long autogenerated SLAAC addressses if you don't want to, you can have whatever you want after your prefix and you don't have to pad it out with garbage random-ish values. A sysadmin can get creative :) Of course your ISP will need to have proper v6 support.
