With real (dedi) servers, our "normal" setup is to assign a /28 and give 
the dedi a L3 switchport configured as the first usable IP in their /28.

For the VPS's we're looking at giving each VPS a single IP.  The bridged 
VPS setup is akin to having a bunch of customers in a shared subnet on a 
L2 switch.  The sort of games that can be played on customer boxes in this 
setup is one of the reasons we stopped doing that sort of setup many years 
ago.
