Most any carpet shouldn’t ~need anything bigger than a 4x2 or 6x2. They’ll use as much space as you’ll give them though.
Difference between carpets and boas? That’s honestly comparing apples to oranges. My boas are overall a bit more sedentary, but the carpets can be too. Some are more shy and secretive while others are out and about regularly.
Bredli and Inland carpets are said to be among the most docile of all the subspecies. Though all animals are individuals and have their own personalities. All 4 of mine are very different and interesting to Interact with. I have three coastals and a jungle between the ages of 2-4yrs and love them all to pieces. They’re pretty sassy as babies, but all of mine calmed down well with regular gentle handling.
Flashiness of display? Probably a jungle would be a good choice. 6’ is a good size adult and would do well in a 4x2x2. There’s a color and pattern option for just about everyone with Morelia species though. Coastals are probably the most variable and all three of mine are distinctly different even with two of them being the same locality.
All but one of mine are tentatively in their forever homes of 4x30x18 unless they get absolutely massive. They’re very lean and slender snakes and don’t take up nearly the space that a 6-7’ boa will.
To summarize, get yourself a carpet python. You won’t regret it.
