Kings tend to bite more then ball pythons. I would go with the ball. If you want one that isn't going to get that large, get a male. Males stay smaller and skinnier then females. Also, don't get one at a pet store. Pet stores buy wild caught ball pythons, for the most part. Wild caught have a tendency not to eat, since they potentially don't recognize mice as a food source, but only gerbils. They may also harbor parasites. Search online for a good breeder, kingsnake.com is a good place to look for one. That is where I found all my snakes.
