"2) a nastier impact because it'll probably hit point-first for maximum penetration."

Point first produces deeper penetration - but makes a clean path through the flesh. A tumbling bullet - if it penetrates - will do far more damage internally. IIRC some conflicts have deliberately used ammunition with that effect?
