We are going thru a similar process.. from all of my reading, best practice discussions etc..
Here is what i have understood so far:-
Residential Customers: /64
Small & Medium size Business Customers: /56
Large Business size or a multi-location Business Customer: /48
Don't skimp on allocating the subnets like we do on IPv4
Better to be 'wasteful' than have to come back to re-number or re-allocate .
