Either of the 2 will have about the same type of husbandry as far as the cooling down period and such. It really just depend's what you want to do hold off on holding the Boa till she has the baby's or Incubate the egg's of the Ball?? Boa's will give you more baby's most likely where Ball's are only gonna give ya somewhere between 5 to 15 egg's.

	Gravid Gravid term used in biology to describe the condition of a female oviparous when carrying young internally.

It's actually easier to not be dealing with eggs, artificial incubation etc ..So go with the Boas to start out with i would say.
