In terms of a general default in shipped IPv6 stacks, I prefer
B, but it has to be qualified:

There MUST be a user option to change this preference.

There SHOULD be a network manager option to change this preference.

The rationale for this is that we need privacy by default in shipped
products, with the ability for the person deploying the product to
override this.
