I'm sure I've said this before, but I don't think the advantages of using BULK LOGGED mode are worth the potential risks. If the data is critical enough that the database is normally in FULL recovery, then IMHO it's too critical to risk losing a chunk of it. Conversely, if it ISN'T that critical, you might as well run the database in SIMPLE recovery and not bother with logs at all! Of course, this is purely an opinion, your mileage may vary, etc...
