Remember that there are no broadcasts (or network addresses) in IPv6,
therefore ".0" is a valid host number.
Your first option treats the information given as the entire 128 bit address
plus mask. Your second option says here's the network (64 bits) plus mask,
and you need to make your own host address via the EUI-64 format scheme.
As for loopbacks (or any other network) technically it's your decision to do
whatever you feel like. You're the one who has to live with the routing
table! (grin)

Subject: IPV6 addressing
Hi group,
I wonder what is in reallity the diiference in using following ipv6
addresses (and what is the difference??)
on physical interfaces like serial and ethernet:
1. (ipv6 address)/64
or
2. (ipv6 address)/64 eui-64
How could be know from the task which one should be configured in any
particular situaltion???
3. for loopbacks as I understand always just (ipv address)/128 address
should be used???
Thanks,
