My humble opinion on this matter:

- Use a /64 on a link where multiple hosts could reside (ethernet,
wavelan, ..)
  This ensures that when one needs to renumber to another provider one
doesn't get a smaller prefix.
  And autoconfigure can work in this setup.

- Use EUI-64 where possible
  Makes it easier to autoconfigure.
  But don't hesitate to use anything else if you really want to.
  It's your /64, *you* have to manage it, it's *your* problem.
  Also note that at a corporation you might not be the only one managing
the network.
  You might go away for some reason and another person has to do the
work then.

- Tunnels which will never be native should use a /127 simply to
conserve space.

And if you really really want to use a /120 on your ethernet, have fun
with it configuring all your boxes.
This does imply that IPv6 stack implementors shouldn't limit, software
_could_ warn though that it breaks stuff.
Ofcourse one could setup DHCPv6 or something to serve /120's...

Actually, that subnet is your problem, not that of the rest of the
world.
If it doesn't work, foo on you ;)

Ofcourse these are my opinions.

Greets,
 Jeroen
