I started out with tanks. They are nice to look at but quickly become a hassle to keep clean and to maintain temps, humidity. I bought a used C Serpent rack with 5 tubs and I like it much better. Easy to clean, easy to move and it saves a ton of space.
I had the same feelings about the tanks being more humane because they look bigger, but if you think about it, your snake is only going to use the floor of the tank, the rest is just wasted space that you have to heat and maintain. The floor space in my 70 quart tub is the same as my 40 gallon tank so there’s no loss of living space for the snake.
Wild BPs spend most of their lives burrowed in the ground, so I feel like a tub/rack is more natural to them than an open front tank. Just things to think about.
