It's much easier and nicer to use globally unique addressing if you've got it than to set up multiple NAT's just to allow different sites to re-use the same private IP space.
I worked at an ISP in a previous job where we ran out of RFC1918 space, and were squatting on UK MoD/DoD/other IP space for internal traffic because we simply had no more IP's to assign within RFC1918.
It was a bad situation when one of those ranges we were squatting on suddenly became used and customers were unable to reach certain services...
