The the former, save yourself grief and use a different /32. For the latter, it's semi-clever. It neatly avoids the problem of customers using the same RFC1918 addresses as you. Even if they're using a subnet like 172.16.0.0/24, a /32 route can usually override that one address without ill effect. It's only semi-clever because the .0 address is a corner case in the code and corner cases are where bugs are most likely to happen. And if you're sending clients from that address to another host with a regular 172.16 address anyway...
