I say: life is too short to fiddle with this kind of stuff, just use /64, at least for everything that isn't a point-to-point link or loopback address.
I don't disagree with you, but, the claim that you can only choose between SLAAC and Static and therefore only use /64 for dynamic addressing wasn't true. Owen
