If you know that the /64 that's going to be delegated is always the
same then you can just statically choose an address within it in
/etc/network/interfaces as normal.
If you can potentially get a different /56 or different /64
delegated then you have no real choice but to use DHCPv6.
I don't know if static /56 is an option on fios. Although there is
no technical reason to not allocate you a static /56, it is often
used as a differentiator for a more costly service "because they
can".
