Well, not so sure I would worry about legit or not legit use...while 
ISP's are looked at being the police, legally law enforcement are the 
ones to pursue illegal use. But it sounds like you've done you're home 
work and they sound legit. Have them fill out an IP Justification form 
(as ARIN requires i) and go from there. I wouldn't worry about providing 
them the /24. Personally I would charge them for the /24 too, makes 
users think twice about the need for a block that large.
