'We plan to use DHCPv6 rather than SLAAC for a variety of reasons'

Care to elaborate on the reasons?  Due to client support we have both.  In fact we had SLAAC for many years and just 2 
years ago we added DHCPv6 ..that was to ensure fuller client support (since windows and OSX amongst others started to 
support it) but also because of the ongoing slowness of our kit supporting the growing list of SLAAC extensions to 
provide DNS/NTP etc values :/
