It depends on your Tier. Griffin in Silver Tier (below bot level 9) is very frustrating to use no matter what weapons you put on them. At level 9 and with even level 8 weapons it works in Silver but IMO the Boa in Silver is much more useful (with either Taran or Orkan with that Thunder).

At Gold and Top Tier, the Griffin - again IMO - works best as a mid-range fighter with dual CRVs and dual S25s. In the Mag/Tarran or Pin/Orkan modes, the Griffin is a sitting duck after its jump and can't escape, but with the mid-range rockets and some well time jumps to cover while firing, you can last a long time in the bot and deal devastating damage to Rhinos and bots in hiding.

The new four legged medium bot with 3 medium hardpoints may make quite a few bots obsolete. That being said, the Boa is easier to upgrade to usable specs and it's weapons can go on the new bots or others - so I'd recommend in the short term going with the Boa. You'll lose nothing by going with the easier upgrade at this time.
