1) Precisely because you are not supposed to use NAT with IPv6 you need prefix delegation: CPE (home router) in addition to an external address (can be obtained via SLAAC) needs a network prefix (/64 or more) which it can use for LAN segment(s). DHCPv6 PD is also used in 464XLAT.

2) Address with SLAAC is deterministic but you need to know MAC address for each device to generate DNS zone. In home LAN I don't want to maintain a database of MAC address for all devices (with internet connected everything there are quite a few of them) and also at home I trust my devices not to spoof hostname in DHCP request so DHCP based DDNS works fine for me.
