Both are as stable as your tripod, the ball head is just easier to position in general use, the pan tilt head is more fersitile overall if speed and eye polking doesn't bother you. I still havee my tilt head and for archetectural use it's better due to the bubble levels but for field use the ball head wins, add that ball heads support less than a similar tilt head tho, but 5 lbs is alot of camera and lens, unless you shoot 4x5 you'll be fine.
