Why wouldn't you want to edit your image while soft proofing is on? I do
this all the time and find it to be very helpful. (I do this with the
understanding that the image is intended for one specific purpose and the
edits may not translate to other output.)

Yes, I see your point. That would explain different white point
calibrations, but how is BPC related to that? I still don't quite see why
you prefer multiple monitor profiles with various contrast ratios to using
BPC in the soft proof.
I generally edit in full screen mode whenever possible. Lately I've been
using a dual monitor setup so all of my UI is on a second monitor. If I
didn't have this option, then I can see using multiple monitor profiles with
various white points to simulate the paper white...

Isn't BPC how the "simulate ink black" is accomplished? I'm not sure I
understand...
Can I assume that you are using Photoshop CS2? In the soft proof dialog, I
can select both "simulate paper white" AND "black point compensation" at the
same time and both seem to be active. I remember in older versions of
Photoshop that it was a trade-off (one or the other but not both together),
but that seems to not be the case now. I don't know at which version this
change showed up.
