If you know that the /64 that's going to be delegated is always the same then you can just statically choose an address within it in /etc/network/interfaces as normal. If you can potentially get a different /56 or different /64 delegated then you have no real choice but to use DHCPv6. I don't know if static /56 is an option on fios. Although there is no technical reason to not allocate you a static /56, it is often used as a differentiator for a more costly service "because they can".
