This is yesterday's news. The bottom line is that you don't have much of
a choice today.

In the 6bone meeting in Atlanta I presented some slides related to this.

As far as I have heard, it all comes to money. Among the three models
described, it is commonly admitted that v4 tier-1 ISPs such as the one
you are working for will eventually form the IPv6 DFZ and become picky
about who they peer with. This requires that *you* build the IPv6
backbone that does not exist yet :-)
