I think there are a lot of people who throw around the SLAAC argument

SLAAC does?  For core networks, it doesn't do anything.  For
hosting/datacenter networks and cluster/VPS environments, again, it
doesn't do anything.  Zero benefit. 

Doesn't SLAAC give you automatic "MAC address to IP" mapping?  It'll save you manually doing that (in an otherwise well 
controlled environment).
