Why you need IPv6

Sounds like you should have your own PI space if you have multiple uplinks, and have that PI space advertised out across all four links. Then you can route packets however/wherever you want using whatever policy you'd like.

This is cost prohibitive, and I doubt most residential ISP's have the capability for this. I would like to have both a cable and a DSL ISP for redundancy but it's far from straightforward with IPv6 (and I have run IPv6 networks for not far off 20 years).

You are so far outside the norm here... Do prefix translation, it's like NAT, but run ULA space inside.

Now you can load balance across all your links without issues.
