Since virtual web hosting has no technical justification for IP space, I refuse it.

SSL and FTP are techincal justifications for an IP per site.

Right. Also, monthly bandwidth monitoring/shaping/capping are more easily done using one ip per hosted domain, or ftp site, or whatever. Otherwise you are parsing logs or using 3rd party apache modules. It's a convenience which would not be looked at twice, if it were on ipv6. All the more reason to move to ipv6. :-)
