For Router Loopback Address .... what is wisdom in allocating a /64 vs /128 ?

In the BCOP, this is noted so that those who suboptimally address their p-t-p links with /64s can be consistently 
suboptimal by doing the same with their loopbacks, so that *all* their interfaces are sinkholes.  

But the BCOP also talks about /128s.
