It depends on how complicated your design is and how it differs from the default BP design.

With the new parent / child theming structure of BP (since v1.1), you won’t have to worry about updating your theme when BP gets an upgrade!

And… you also won’t find many BP theme frameworks right now since v1.1 just got released! So it’s probably easier to create a child theme of the default BP theme.
