our ISP assigned us a /126 for our p2p link with them..and other one gave us /64 for their p2p..at this point.there doesn't seem to be a consensus on what should be used..
Why should each link have a /64? If there can only ever be two endpoints, why would more than two addresses ever be required (or used)? If I've missed something fundamental, I apologize.

I agree. This seems to be a case of those who do not know history are condemned to repeat it.
In the early days of ipv4 large address spaces were passed out like free candy to big companies. Many of these are still not in use on the internet. Others were successfully reclaimed and redeployed by an arduous process. But the feeling at the time was that the address space was so large it would not matter.
So here we are again with an enormous address space and again the authorities feel like it is perfectly acceptable to pass out huge swaths of addresses because the space is enormous.
