I use HE.NET in a few installations (with BGP) and they have good
support (which is quite awesome for a free service).

As people pointed out avoid 6to4, Apple just rendered it nearly
useless in its latest OS-X.

Thanks all for the helpful response. Using the same names for IPv6
and
IPv4 doesn't appear to be much of a problem, especially considering
this
is a trial which concerns office/home ISP connectivity, for now.

Which IPv6 tunnel broker is preferable, or does it really matter?

I'm afraid that announcements of 2002::/16 by places with
non-functional
or poorly connected 6to4 had already rendered it close enough to
useless
that I quit caring.

And the main issues, it is a hell to debug to find out which one needs to be fixed or taken out.
