I would personally prefer to have a completely new profile page, not just a revamped bbPress one. The ultimate solution would of course be to allow the admin to choose whether to use the WordPress, bbPress or completely new page for user profiles. But that would again make the whole thing even more complicated.

It’s a good point about redirection — the plugin should indeed make sure that all links to profile pages would go to the one set by the admin as the one to be used. (Whether WordPress, bbPress, or a totally separate page.)
