We've been to both resorts with BP last June and the GP in 2006...
That being said we liked the GP a lot better. The service was better the staff were a little more friendlier, food a little more varied at the buffets. Both resorts are huge and you can find a lot of things to do at either one. Keep in mind though all the resorts here have had the same sort of staffing issues that we do up here with a lack of really good staff along the area that are continually being poached from one resort to the other.
Coba is a little further from the beach, the BP itself is a lot more spread out of a resort and you will find you need to take the little golf cart trains to a lot of the places you want to go including the beach. The buffet at Coba is supposed to be the best of the three, we never made it there though.
The GP is a little more compact easier to walk around to the buffets, beach etc. We found that the beach was nicer here in general but that could have changed along that whole region with hurricanes in the last couple years. The GP is a little closer to Cancun and PDC if that matters to you but your still looking at about an hour and a half to 2 hour buss ride from the airport either way.
To sum it up... If we were to go back, we'd go to the GP, but I wouldn't say that we didn't like the GBP
