IPv4 is mature enough that for small to medium sized networks, the answer is "you plug everything in". My appraisal of v6 is that it's an order of magnitude (or two) more complex than that, both in 'attack' surface and interoperability issues. But, I suppose, it took me a couple years to really learn IPv4 well. That said, *having* learned IPv4 relatively well, I remain surprised that there's as much additional (perceived) complexity in v6.
