Don't forget that if you have DoH, it is bypassing your local resolver.
Then, you're giving your juicy DNS data to the DoH provider rather than
your ISP.
 
One of the best videos I've seen that talks about these issues is form
the Southern California Linux Expo this year:

Comcast should work well, they were one of the first major ISPs to 
provide IPv6 for consumers.  Using DHCP-PD, they'll assign a /60
to you.  So you can have 16 LANs running at your house -- all with
addresses that aren't NATed.

I haven't worked with CenturyLink's IPv6 offerings.
