When should your bets reflect the size of the bb and when should they reflect the size of the pot?

 Your question is a little off I think. Your bets are always made with consideration to the size of the pot, and the relative odds you are offering.

Standard notation is to use multiple of the bb pre-flop, and fraction of the pot post flop.

So at 25NL, A $1 raise pre-flop is called a 4xBB raise. SB calls, pot is now $2.50. A $1.25 flop bet is called a 1/2 PSB (pot sized bet).
