Woo hoo for insomnia!!!! 4:32am here in Kansas.They both can be good at escaping, I would say that boas are better just because they get bigger and therefore could put more force behind it. That's one reason why I don't like the screen lids; the locks are meh at best. And yup, Tash is right, separation is the ideal. Safest for all involved.
IF he has both kinds of snakes in his shop, even if it isn't the specific snake you would end up with, I would say hold a couple adults, one of each species. That will give you a feel for size and strength. And let you get associated with the way they behave in general. I have yet to convince myself to have a snake shipped to me, in that I want them for their personality and temperament just as much as their beauty. I like to hold them and get to "know" them a little before I bring them home. Where are you located? Folks might be able to suggest a breeder in your area.
