I'll work my way backwards and give some of my opinions.
First of all its very unlikely you'll be dealing with any redtail Boa, including BCC, BCI and Colombian type Boas that will reach 13 feet. There are always possible exceptions but rarely are these monsters seen in captivity. Now 8 - 10 feet is a more likely size so a 6' - 8'(foot) enclosure would be best suited for such Boas. One could use a 48x24x18 and be alright .Once a Boa goes over 6' feet, a longer enclosure makes sense. I'll leave a link where you can shop for the Best enclosure in my opinion anywhere, the Boaphile Plastics enclosure is great.
As far as Boas go I find that Dumerils Boas seem to be some of the best pet type Boas you'll find. Normally clean blood lines stay quite small under 6 feet. Never to be housed with any other snake though under any circumstance. Colombian Boas are my personal favorites though. I also like a larger Boa so I like the Colombians.
