Which type of tripod head do you prefer?

A friend of mine graciously gave me both a tripod and monopod both made by Manfrotto. Unfortunately neither came with a head so now I have to find something.

I've been doing some research and debating between a 3-way head and a ball head. I am primarily interested in portraits and landscapes. But I do a lot of travel so I need

The ball heads are smaller, lighter, and quicker to use not to mention a bit cheaper usually. But someone pointed out that it can be very hard to replicate a shot once you've moved it since there's no real way to tell precisely where it was aiming. This also causes a problem for landscapes where you would want it to be perfectly flat in all three directions.

The 3-way head seems more useful because I really like having that precision. But obviously there is that trade off that they're larger and takes more time to get just right.

Someone local is selling a Manfrotto 229 but I've found almost no reviews for it online so I'm a little worried about the quality.

I only need about 12 pounds carrying capacity and I'm definitely not committed to sticking with Manfrotto. Budget of about $200. Send some recommendations!

Thoughts on this: https://www.keh.com/shop/k-f-concept-360-degree-3-way-geared-ball-head-13-2-lbs-payload.html ? It fits the criteria at least but I don't know anything about the brand.
