Idiot tap connector question
 

a 3/4" BSP tap - is that a parallel BSP thread? I'm pretty sure it is but I
want to check before I go and order the bits to connect the bath taps (and
likewise the 1/2" taps on the basin)...

There is only 1 type of tap connector thread AFAIK.

Use flexibles.

Any particular recommendation for make? I can see the merit - no trying to
bend a copper pipe to the mm.

Are their any cons - (relatively) short life etc?

One possible con is if it's a SS sink etc, copper pipe adds to the
rigidity, but flexibles not.

The con is that the flexibles do not supply a rigid base for the tap
and it is difficult to get the tap to lock onto the bath/sink.

I'd guess the same with plastic pipe. Especially with one hole fixings.
