You do not want to use bodkin points normally as you lose the imp damage type. Up to an including heavy plate (DR 9) the normal arrow is better/as good.

You are after all getting the (2) penetration while retaining Impaling and that is a great deal.

Of course if you are fighting something more than heavy plate like fantasy monsters(or mooks where just getting 1 point is enough), then yes you may want to use Bodkin points for the (4) penetration.
