You should really listen to your customers. One argument in favor of / 
48 for everyone is that that way, when a customer changes ISPs, he or  
she only has to renumber a fixed prefix and not mess with subnet  
numbering.

So if a customer had a /48 before, they're likely to want one again  
even though they may not need many hundreds of subnets. (Growing from  
smaller to larger is obviously easier.)
