I would have to say that it really does depend on what you want, I believe that a red-tail is better looking and bigger, thumbs up in my book, the ball is gonna be a lot more timid and easy to handle...I would also say that a red tail will cost more to feed due to bigger prey items, but the ball can easily go on a fast for months at a time(not too sure about red-tails) the decision is solely in your hands, but in my opinion is impressiveness vs. handleability (dunno if those are words but they get my point across)...I hope that this helped.
