We (37271) use different policies depending on our relationship to the
neighbor.
From customers, we require an exactly matching route(6) object.
From peers, we accept more specifics up to /24 or /48.

The rationale for this is:
1.  We consider that we have a higher "duty of care" with respect to
    routes that we intend to announce to the wider Internet; and
2.  Having a customer facing policy that is at least as strict as our
    strictest neighbor helps eliminate hard to troubleshoot propagation
    issues.

We've been doing things this way for several years now, and it seems to
be a good middle ground.

Cheers,

Ben
