As long as we are talking about either code points or
repertoires they are pretty much interchangeable (as I hope
everyone reading this knows). It seems to me it would be
rational to pick whatever term would be most familiar to the
audience, insert a parenthetical or other note on first use that
points to the other one (and maybe says "same for code points
and repertoire"), and then just move on and be consistent.
