I've had both and like someone else said, they both have pros and cons. My chinchilla was a bit wild and she stayed in her cage a lot and hid. She really only came out and night but my entire family would get such a kick out of watching her when she had her dust baths and would make me give her a dust when we had company over just so they could see it. I never found it quite that fascinating.
Ferrets are much morel like cats and you can let them out more without worrying about them pooping all over. I might say they would be the better pet ifyou actually want to pet it. Predator animals are usually the better pet when compared to prey animals. They are just more intelligent and more sociable.
