I work for a company that regularly acquires smaller companies who all thought using 10/8 was a good idea. Merging N of these networks is a disaster.

What's the best green-field recommendation for said companies?

Just get real IP addresses even if you have to buy them. The cost should be minimal compared to the total IT cost.

Interesting, last time I did this was 1996 (and last time I wore the net admin hat) we had our own range for internal use.

Just gotta make sure OSPF, (E/I)BGP and L2/L3 drop these ranges though.
