I only add /32 aliases. I believe in only having one ip with the wide mask, and just having the rest being single-ip aliases for the same reason as not having multiple ethernet interfaces with the wide mask on the same ethernet segment, since it screws up my knowledge on which IF will be used for outward traffic. If I am confused, the box might be too.
