Which tunnel setup should I use?

Hi,
I registered some days ago and now I want to register my tunnel, but I am a bit irritated by the options I have to choose! There is static IPv4, dynamic IPv4 or dynamic NAT. Actually my idea was to make the home network IPv6 based. I currently have a static IPv4 address and of course NAT/PAT translation into my network. However, the IPv6 addresses are of course without any NAT as they should be routet as normal IPv6 addresses. So the endpoint of the tunnel would be the router, as this is the last device that has an IPv6 address. The question is now, what would I choose here? As far as I understand, I should choose static IPv4. Am I right with that?
Best regards,
Michael

You can use the static tunnel if you have a static IPv4 AND your tunnel isn't behind NAT.
That means that if you can run the tunnel on the router it will work.
You need a router with opensource firmware like openwrt or DD-wrt or a professional router as for example cisco with ios. A dumb cheap router from your provider will most likely not work.

I currently have a static IPv4 address [..]
You answered the question yourself already I would say ;)
Unless that static IPv4 address is terminated on a device where you cannot terminate the tunnel.
What distribution/OS is running on the device with the public IP address?

Ok, thanks for the very quick response. I requested the static IPv4 tunnel, as the router which owns this address is a Cisco router. That was the setup I had in mint and I thought this also would be the general setup, so I was a bit confused in which way NAT has anything to do with setting up a tunnel from my router to my ISP.
Best regards,
Michael

Because most people have their host behind a NAT and thus need to either reconfigure their NAT box to properly forward the tunneled IPv6 packet to their host or they simply use AYIYA which does not care about it.
Do note that if you have a real router, you will also need a subnet. See the FAQ on credits for more details.

There's a wiki article how to setup static tunnel on cisco equipment. Otherwise just create a static nat to forward IP41 packets to your internal termination point
