I understand that Bulk Insert ignores indexes. If I have a 100 million record table and I’m inserting 30-50k records a day using Bulk Insert, would there be a big difference between rebuilding the indexes weekly versus daily?

A bulk insert updates indexes just as a normal insert in SQLServer. It does NOT ignore them.
Rebuilding indexes is like defragging a disk. With 50k inserts a weekly rebuild is generous. Monthly ould be fine.
