Glad you have your profiling issue solved.

As for intents, it depends on the software. People are forever quoting  
books and experts on this who are not referring to our products, so  
their wisdom on the topic is moot. .

For our profiles try saturation first then perceptual if saturation is  
not mapping certain blues or yellows as you would like. And lastly use  
relative colorimetric if percep is still not literal enough. Leave BPC  
off in all cases for deepest blacks. If you need more shadow detail  
adjust that slider instead of using BPC.
