We keep both, and breed BHPs.
They are completely different with different needs as da_donkey said.
I wouldn't recommend a scrubby to anyone unless they have a couple of years python experience and have thought very long and hard about how they are going to house it when it's older and larger. You can't tame them, you can free handle them till they are a certain size if you can put up with the biting, but rarely can you trust a 14 foot scrubby. You also need a huge enclosure for them when they are adults. As others have said, they pack a punch from a young age when they bite...and they DO bite. Usually are reasonable when younger but almost always get more aggressive with age. They are also very smart and calculated...much more so than any other species of python in my experience.
IMO this is the one of the only pythons that you can say part of the species is agression.
