Ok everyone, Im new to CV's, and even newer to dive bombers. Which Aircraft bomb should I be employing, AP or GP?

GP (General Purpose) all the way. AP (Armor piercing) bombs are/were intended for armored ships, but I believe there's not much to do wrong with GP bombs, even on armored ships. AP bombs MAY have its use if you KNOW you're gonna bomb THAT target and THAT target is heavily armored - but... really... just go with GP.

(Also, I believe to remember that there is no longer any stopping power for ship armor vs. aerial bombs, so there would be no reason at all to bring AP bombs. But I'm not sure on that.)

AW ship (eg L2 can take a lot of dbs before it sinks) compare to ships that is isn't 

and not all ships can be armored fully so GP bombs is mostly used

GP bombs...

But, more than anything, learn how to manual dive bomb...

Practice, Practice, and practice more, just like with manual aim for gun ships.

The higher you can drop them bombs, the more dmg they will produce.
