That said, I end up playing seated more and more these days, by choice.

I typically like walnut, so sounds like BT is the way to go.

One other question - is there much variation in the neck shape/carve? Since they are done by hand I figure there is some difference but in the few I've played I didn't notice night/day difference.

BT or BSR shape is the same bass except for the body shape. Necks are basically the same but the variation is by nature as the final carving and sanding is all by hand.
