Since we are on the topic of IPv6. I'd like to know if anyone has books/articles they recommend on fully
understanding IPv6 adoption in the work place. I will need to contact ARIN shortly to request a v6 block.

I'm assuming I would be asking for a /64 being an ISP. But I'd like to read up as much as possible before
requesting the block....

No, as an ISP, you should get at least a /32. A /64 is a single subnet in IPv6.

I think our approach will be to use dual-stack on the routers and let the clients themselves handle how they want to 
use IPv6...

Seems reasonable. FWIW, you should plan for assigning clients a /48 per end-site.

Ultimately, it is up to them, their network, and their applications on how to use v6...

Yep.
