Perceptual already uses BPC so it will make very little difference. I
usually just leave it on so I don't forget next time I need it.

That's a different discussing concerning rendering intents.
Perceptual will scale your images to fit the destination space (but only
scale them inwards). This will retain details in saturated colours but loose
you some saturation and change all colours.
RelCol with BPC will scale the luminance, but not the color. This will
result in more saturated (and often slightly different) color than
perceptual.
Many people use the convert to profile dialogue to convert RGB > CMYK and
try both variants (Percwptual/RelCol with BPC) and pick the one they prefer,
on a per image basis.
If you put a gun to my head and made me pick one to use for the rest of my
life It'd be RelCol as I prefer the saturation and general look for 95% of
my images - but this is for the stuff I do - your mileage may vary...
