Does anyone know the best way to get a IPV6 address
block from ARIN. How can I assure that ARIN will honor
my request?

first you have to worry about black helicopters. then
you have to whine on nanog. then try the apnic mailing
lists. then complain to iana. then file a complaint
with the icann board. when all those fail, consider
filling out and submitting the form at arin.

If you are not a LIR (and do not plan to become one): Do not even bother
trying. PI-Address space does not exist. Multihoming for non-LIRs is still
an open issue.

last I checked, LIR was a RIPE-specific construct...

Then, for IPv6 assignments, you might want to check again.

From above mentioned Link:

---snip---
2.4. Local Internet Registry (LIR)

A Local Internet Registry (LIR) is an IR
that primarily assigns address space to the users of the network
services that it provides.
LIRs are generally ISPs, whose customers are primarily end users and
possibly other ISPs.

And that is the policy ARIN claims to be using. IANA gives netblocks
to RIRs, RIRs give netblocks to LIRs (or NIRs, who then assign netblocks
to LIRs), LIRs give netblocks to Endusers. If an enduser changes his
provider (and LIR) he renumbers.
