You could always use the Linksys WRT54GL w/ DD-WRT
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Descri
ption=wrt54gl, http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads.php).  I have
dual-stack hotspots running at my house and several public locations in
Montana right now.

It should probably be pointed out:

Asking for practical advice on choosing /48 vs. /56 on a residential 
broadband CPE is largely unanswerable.

Why?

Because I don't know of any residential broadband CPEs that support
IPv6.

I want to be wrong about that. Seriously. Send me a link to one. I want 
to be wrong. (And by residential, I mean a CPE/router/firewall that
costs
less than $150US.)

IMO, the only answers so far:

  businesses get /48
  dialup gets /64

(by default anyway; there are always exceptions)
