For global IPv6 connectivity, you can use 6to4 addresses with automatic tunnelling

One note : for 6to4 it is much more convenient if your router has a fixed public IPv4 address, as the 6to4 global IPv6 prefix is based on the public IPv4 address.

- What IP address should my IPV6 apps bind to?

The one you decide according to your needs. I cannot be more precise without further details.

I was afraid of that. I'll need more experience to figure out what to
use and what not to.

Usually you want to bind to :: (any IPv6 address and, by default, any IPv4 address) or to an IPv6 address with global scope (global address, unique local address) that is reachable from your clients or servers. If a socket is for local host communications only, use ::1.
