Is there an advantage to one mounting style versus the other? I can go either way and want to make the best choice.
Bipod mounting - Arca or Picatinny?

Either is a secure attachment! It usually depends on what type of rail your gun has. Some like ARCA because it attaches directly to ARCA Swiss tripod heads, you can also get a picatinny to ARCA Swiss adapter for bipods. Both are really good.

To me it would depend on what I was going to use the gun for. If I were expecting to primarily shoot it off of a tripod then I’d rather have an arca rail. If I might also want to mount something else in that location then I’d rather have picatinny.

If you need to move your bipod forward or backwards arca is easier as it can be loosened a little bit and slid. With a picatinny rail the bipod needs to be completely removed to be moved.
I have both attachments and I prefer arca.

I went arca for the width and run a pic adapter on my impact. Much easier that the pic rail on my dreamline with an arca adapter. I like some of the cheap import carbon camera tripods with a ball mount up top and the arca rail for sit and shoot or stand and shoot scenarios. It's more adjustable and easier to use than my long Pic mount bipod I use on the dreamline, but you have to carry a relatively large funny shaped tripod with you. Arca is becoming the "standard" with a lot of the longer range guys so that's why I chose it. Just to have interop with other people's gear in a pinch. Whatever that's worth to ya.
