I'm pretty sure that you can use both. RAs even have bits to indicate if one is supposed to autoconfigure, [0] hit up a DHCPv6 server for some or all configuration, [1] or both. radvd refers to them as AdvAutonomous and AdvOtherConfigFlag/AdvManagedFlag, respectively.

This is exactly what I do. Almost everything has a nice DHCPv6 address so that I can actually remember the ULA + the suffix, but then for the two devices on my network that don't do DHCPv6 they get a SLAAC. One oddity though is that it means most devices on my network have both a SLAAC and a DHCP-provided one, since I wasn't able to be able to get it to prioritize a DHCP. Combine that with them having both ULA addresses and public addresses and some stuff on my network have way more addresses than you'd expect | ||

You can use both, but I've never found a good reason to at home. The DHCPv6 option for specifying an NTP server might be a good reason to... but even Linux machines ignored it when I tried. Maybe in five years :) | ||
