If your big enough to get your own GUA and have the dollars to get it routed then do that. If you are forced to use PA (think home networks) then having a ULA prefix as well is a good thing.

In Oz it costs real money to get IPv6 address space from the RIR (APNIC). Around AUD$6K in the first year, around AUD$1100 each year thereafter.
Your /48, according to the ARIN website, cost you US$625 this year, will cost US$937.50 next year, and $1250 every year thereafter.
Uh, no... You're misreading it. It cost me $625 (or possibly less) one-time when I first got it. After that, the annual $100/year has been part of the same $100/year I've been paying for my IPv4 resources.
Fairly trivial amounts for most commercial entities, but prohibitive for all but the most enthusiastic home user.
Agreed, but, at $100/year that I was already paying for IPv4, it seemed pretty trivial. I bet you spend more than that at Starbucks each year. Owen
