I realize that the words baap and pitaa are approximately the same, but does
"baap" have any connotations in Hindi that "pitaa" does not have? Which word
would you prefer and it what kind of situations?
"baap" बाप is an informal and often rude (intentional) address. One never calls one's father as "baap" बाप directly.
"Pita" पिता is the commonly used word, along with some variations like "Pita ji" पिता जी or "Pita shri" पिता श्री as someone asked. "Pita shri" is to address one's father with much honor or respect.
