It will depends on your expectations.
Hognose are a little more tolerant when it comes to husbandry, they are very tolerant when it comes to handling, now their size is much smaller especially if you get a male but you can get a female in the 400 grams of course that still small considering a female BP will get 2000 grams and over.
Hognose have a lot more personality, BP are more of a pet rock they are prey but not very active.
I breed both and I like both for very different reasons, BP are the eye candy for me, Hognose they are eye candy too but I enjoy handling them.
Also keep in mind that while Hognose are not prone to bite (never been bit by a Hog now BP I have especially hatchling) they are rear fanged and have a very mild venom with reaction going from nothing to swelling of the finger or arm.
