My 8' Garbage Disposal (Suriname Cross) female loves Guinea pigs or pretty much anything that fits in her mouth. I really take advantage when Rodent Pro marks Pigs down for a $1 each...
Nice!
If they can take a Rabbit Skull they can take a Guinea Pig.
As far as quality prey I would consider them equal at the same weight. There aren't to many Boa's that require a full Rabbit, my female will take 2 XXL Pigs in the off season

Guinea pigs have an inordinately high fat content. Not good for boas that should be kept lean.
Rabbits are healthy as prey, but the bones can splinter. It is extra imperative that boas eating rabbits not be roughly handled.
Stick with rats, there should be no boa that NEEDS larger prey. A giant of a female can do well on the largest rats.
