Can anyone elaborate why we shouldn't use BouncyCastle?

  The message here is avoid low-level crypto - if you find yourself having to mess around IV's or choosing modes and padding then you are far more likely to screw something up. NaCl/libSodium provide higher level interfaces where the underlying primitives are removed from the developer which makes it much more difficult to implement bad crypto (at least as far as the individual constructs go...protocol design may still get you)
