You should only generate the Global ID once, for your entire
site. Then use this Global ID in the same way that you use
the /48 assigned by your ISP, except that you tell all your
Internet gateway devices to block fc00::/7 traffic and
announcements.

This should not affect the way in which interface addresses
are assigned and you could certainly use the same interface
address with both the ULA prefix and the ISP-assigned prefix.
