That's a very difficult paragraph to comprehend. ;)  Can you elaborate?

You can achieve your goal of having persistent addressing for you
hosts using ULA (or IPv4 for that matter).
Those hosts can have v6 Internet access by giving them dynamically
configured global addresses as well as UL addresses.  There's no need
to NAT.  If a simple firewall configuration can protect those devices
the same as any NAT-ing firewall could.

What's the bad to this solution?
