What we “know” about Drymarchon in the wild indicates they are primarily terrestrial, but fearless and will climb, swim, or rappel down cliff facings if needed. Indigos will sometimes use higher places as lookout points to scout for prey.

I think the general rule is that adults appreciate as much space, be it floor space or vertical space, possible.
Vertical room, if you have the space in your house for it, does make for an interesting display, and may provide a little more stimulus for the snake.

I would say in a perfect world floor space AND vertical space would be best, but that would be hard to heat. If I had a certain amount of square footage to work with, and I had to choose vertical or floor space, I would take the floor space. They will spend the majority of their time there.
