The difference between storing anything in .bash_profile versus .bashrc
is that .bash_profile is executed only for interactive login shells, and
.bashrc is executed only for interactive nonlogin shells (e.g., if you
type "bash" at a prompt).  Read the man page for bash and look for the
INVOCATION section.
