Its really hard to answer your question because the differences between a BP and a GTP is great. If you had specific questions it would be far easier to help you. After you read up on each and have a better understanding of them you will be able to ask the questions that you still have.
The book I suggested earlier is thought to be "THE BOOK" on GTPs and is highly recommended throughout the hobby. Download the Kindle version and give it a read. It really covers everything. I have a hard and digital copy.
There are also some Kindle books on BPs that are not a bad read.
Their is a wealth of info here you just have to look for it. After that we can continue to help you with whatever you need.
