Is this with a copper SFP?

We standardize on auto-neg for all customers and peers.

I used to have issues at $previous_job back in 2009, but since then (and 
at $current_job), we haven't come across any customers that weren't able 
to support auto-neg.

Of course, this is one of those things where with enough customers 
on-board, you're bound to end up having to hard-code settings.

Our 6880's are run as core switches - so only 10Gbps and a small set of 
1Gbps links.
