And make sure to disable RA (with fire, i.e. disable send + receive + answering solicited requests) and EUI64. If it's a point to point link, use a /126 or /127 netmask.
+1. I've seem some providers do /64 on their point-to-point links. I don't have an issue with that, and the whole /64 vs /126 or /127 debate has been thoroughly beaten into the ground. No need to re-hash it.
I have never seen a provider use a pseudo-dynamic address on an interface/BGP peer. Having to reconfigure a BGP session because a provider did a hardware upgrade or moved my link to a new interface would not make me happy.
