Hey Johnny,

First of all, some variables name have changed between the 2.x and 3.x
versions.
Until a new info file is made, you'll have to look by yourself.

After loading bbdb
,----
| describe-variable -> bbdb<TAB>
`----

The name are usually explicit. Note you could probably use the customize
interface for that as well.

Here is what I use
,----
| (autoload 'bbdb "bbdb" "Big Brother DataBase" t)
| 
| (eval-after-load "bbdb"
|   '(progn
|      (bbdb-initialize)))
| 
| ; Stop showing when updates occur
| (setq bbdb-message-pop-up nil)
| 
| ; Stop echoing messages
| (setq bbdb-silent t)
| 
| ; Don't show completions in a new buffer
| (setq bbdb-completion-display-record nil)
| 
| ; Be quiet if names mismatch
| (setq bbdb-accept-name-mismatch t)
| 
| ; Don't ask me if I want to save the data base (automatically yes)
| (setq bbdb-check-auto-save-file nil)
| 
| ; Prevent bbdb from creating a new entry when reading mail/news
| (setq bbdb-add-mails nil)
| 
| ; Make bbdb-complete-mail cycle when several addresses
| (setq bbdb-complete-mail-allow-cycling t)
| 
| ; Insert name + email
| (setq bbdb-mail-allow-redundancy t)
`----

And for gnus
,----
| (require 'bbdb) 
| (bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message)
| ; Complete email on TAB
| (define-key message-mode-map (kbd "TAB") 'bbdb-complete-mail)
`----

Hope this helps
