I can't get IPv6 in any worthwhile form from my ISP. IMHO IPv6 isn't any more useful than IPv4 if you only have ULA. And NAT is not as well supported since it wasn't intended to even be really necessary for example. So even if you are starting from scratch or just using it internally, there are some disadvantages to implementing it over just sticking with IPv6. But if your ISP actually provides IPv6 it might be worth it as long as your devices all support it. But otherwise you're going to need to set up IPv4 in addition, anyway, so you're just going to create problems for no good reason, IMHO.
