I've had both, still have the bosc.
My tegu went mental when he hit about 3ft long and I could no longer look after him without endangering myself so I chose to rehome him to someone with more monitor experience.
The bosc is a darling, he's not big on being handled but they aren't really meant for cuddling!

So I vote bosc

Oh yeah, one reason I like tegus over boscs....

Tegus should be fed fruit and vegetables as well as insects, which makes the cost of the livefood a bit lower.
