When I started using BBDB, I found that it just asked too many questions and popped too many boxes/windows. After trial and error, I settled on the following settings which keep it quietly doing its job in the background. I bet that it is about the quietest BBDB there is. You might want to experiment with these settings and see if they suit you.
