If you have IPv6 connectivity from everywhere that you want to connect from, then making SSH IPv6 exclusive is also quite effective at reducing junk traffic to the server. It also has the side benefit that you usually don't need any special config to avoid idle SSH connections from dropping due to the NAT server timing out the connection. (Unless you are using NAT over IPv6, which is uncommon.)
