Bubbleponics is a fairly recently coined word and it means different things to different people. But all sytems that use bubbles require them 24/7. Different systems rely on them to different degrees, but most would agree the more the better. Several large airstones and a high power pump produce all the bubbles you could want. A lot of it has to do with setting it up right for your need and maintaining the airstones and replacing them when needed.
No, just run the one air pump 24/7. My first grow I had the pump on the same 18/6 cycle as the lights and the plants didn't die. But I agree that the extra oxygen in the water from the pump running all the time makes for happy roots/plants.
