I don't think bio is a good candidate for this, if the plan is to replace the profile module. Bio does not allow to put fields in the user registration form, which in my opinion is a required functionality for core. From my experience node profile does the cleanest of this (to make it core-worthy the node family dependency would need to be dropped of course).
I have used both nodeprofile and bio and they are both good modules but I think recent changes to bio make it just a bit better. As noted elsewhere, bio now has the ability to put fields on the registration page. Better yet, it has the ability to _selectively_ put them there, not just dump the whole node there. Plus, nodeprofile has two module dependencies. Bio is a lighter solution. I like both modules and nodeprofile is the way to go if you want multiple node profiles for sure. But if anything would be considered for core, I would recommend bio as it is a lot lighter weight. Michelle
