Hi Steven,

To explain in simple words, BI is all reporting where you fetch data from whereas IPS is base for DS installation, so if you want to perform reporting choose for BI as it has number of reporting services for same.

IPS is base install for DS (Data Services) which is ETL tool, which is also ideal as it won't have any reporting services which are not required for Data Services.
