With a larger network, multiple IP blocks, ***numerous multihomed customers***, some of which use IP's we've assigned them, it gets a little more complicated to do.

Sounds like a good use of URPF.
Reverse path filtering + asymmetric routing = epic fail. Jon did say Multihomed customer. Refer to RFC 3704 (BCP84). Note section 2.2 (Strict Reverse Path Forwarding) last part of the final sentence: "in particular, when applied to multihoming to different ISPs, this assumption may fail."
