Yes, you need to pick your tradeoff between knowing your backup copy

This is not an issue for me.
My biggest concern is how bpc handle a b

Gandalf-
BackupPC, is relatively easy to setup for a schedule like you propose. We
keep a 30 day backup history with a few extra weeks tacked on to get out to
~70 days, so the values below reflect our schedule:
The values you'll want to check:
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 26; # This is the number
Additionally, what happens if I delete/lost/break the full backups ?
Any subsequent incremental backups will be broken or automatically the
following incremental backup would become a "full" like with
rsnapshot?
