Depends on the weapons you have available, the roll you want, and what bracket you want to play in.

On the cheap, it's a lot easier to setup a Boa with ECC Thunder + Taran than getting a Griffin properly equipped with 2x Magnums & 2x Tarans.

For roll, they're both good knife-fighters. For medium range, the Griffin is much better with the four hardpoints.

But realize rolling with a heavy Griffin vs. medium Boa means a big jump in brackets. Far too many newbies get a Griffin, outfit it with AC Molots, and get eaten alive because of the bracket jump. If you're just starting out, go with the Boa first. Graduate to the Griffin when you're ready.
