Most ISPs still offer a so called "Full Dual Stack" connection. That means you will still be able to use IPv4 as you do now and use IPv6 in addition to that. The OS and the application will figure out for themselves what protocol to use. If the other side also supports IPv6, IPv6 will tried first by default.
As Ricsi already mentioned some ISPs that are short of IPv4 addresses issue so called DS-Lite. But I do not think that will apply to you. European and Asian ISPs sometimes use DS-Lite, but in the US ISP's still have enough IPv4. I am not aware of US ISPs going DS-Lite yet.
So for the moment assume that you will have Full Dual Stack en use both IPv4 and IPv6 for both incoming and outgoing connections.
