Dont use a half log they are not for snakes. You need something that covers all of the snake with a little tiny door.
Those exo terra domes are ok but they are too tall. A clay pot base is better and much cheaper.

I have both, I got them from petco. The one you showed is kind of expensive though espeically if you have a few snakes. My snakes seem to like that one better also, but I keep the log around because its a better shedding aid for them. Funny, some of my snakes dont even use their hides they just crawl under the newspaper. To sum up it probably doenst matter to much, but if your concerned put both of them in see which one they use.

I use the plastic salad bowls from wally world and use a hole saw to make a hole in the side or top. The bowls are 4 for 1.94. They are cheap and work great.

Half logs are the worst hide you could use. I use both the Exo Terra and the RBI hides. Both work great. Just depends on what your BP likes best.

I use exo terras in my JCP cage and RBIs in my BP cages.

Actually i think a box full of used syringes would be a worse hide 
For my adult male I use one of those rock like things from the first post, he likes it and takes up most of the inside. But for my 2 baby girls I use wonder bread sandwich containers with a corner cut out. It works well and they both have very little extra room in the hide, they love it.
