Heel back 3 is a little tougher since you have to get the pop, then pull to your back (weaker than a fs pull) and get it around. With a ts fs 3, you get the pop and immediately pull the handle to your rear hip and let it come around. Very easy to initiate.

I think it would depend on which direction you feel more comfortable spinning. I've always felt better spinning clockwise for instance, whether I'm on a wakeboard, skateboard, snowboard, mountain bike, etc. I don't seem to lose my center of balance as easily that way. I think holdsworth is right on as far as the initiation of the spin though. I'm not to that point in my riding, but just from the 180s I can tell a huge difference. The BS spins would be easier to hesitate off the wake IMO so that you didn't come off axis.
