Thanks for your quick reply. I ended up setting my boundaries by simply using the projection to plot my points, letting matplotlib plot the x,y points (without basemap to set the axes limits), and then taking the limits automatically computed by matplotlib and passing them through the inverse projection to get the lon,lat coordinates of the box. Now, on my next pass through, I'm using these as the bounding box information. As always, basemap is working very well. Cheers!
