If you can justify getting a /32, then I suggest you do so, but if not
then don't worry, a /48 will work just fine. The networks that do
filter you will pretty soon adapt I expect.
I can't in good conscience justify a /32. That is just too much space.
I believe I can, however, justify a separate /48 in Europe and APAC with
my various offices and data centers in that region coming from the /48
for that region.
I'm not sure it's about good conscience and worrying about address space wastage anymore. I mean sure, don't go ask for a /8 or something, but follow the RIR guidelines - don't paint yourself in to a corner later by trying to save the world now.
If you are assigning addresses to customers, you should have a /32 allocation. If you are an end user of addresses, you should have a /48 portable assignment. In APNIC world anyway, I'm not sure of the terms and policies used in other regions.
