A lot of it is personal preference.
Proper Husbandry is the main concern regardless of what you house your noodle in. Making sure the temps and humidity are good while making sure there is a sense of security for the snake.
My oldest girl is 18. Half of her life was in a tub. The last half has been in a nice big tank. She does well. She's only fussy about food and will only eat live. Activity and such doesn't bother her and she will come out to explore from time to time
Out of my three yearlings, one is a spitfire. She has to be housed in a tub because she will strike at everything and anything that moves. Initially I had her in an exo-terra, she's my fancy girl I wanted to have in a nice display tank...but then had to cover her it with a blanket as she decided to coil up on a driftwood branch and play angry tree python at anything moving. Her tub has made it much easier to deal with as she cannot see what's going on.
The tubs can be a bit easier to maintain humidity on, a big plus.
But if you really want to show a snake off, obviously the visibility sucks.
Choose what you want! But do right by the snake is the most important part!
