They should live in whatever you have time to take care of. If you can do daily water changes then a 32 oz bowls in fine. If you can only have time for once a week water changes then you need a couple gallon tank.

both are really good. but i'd go with a tank, so the betta has more space, but thats just me. you could always get a big bowl, but bettas can jump out and die, that's why i like the tanks.

Well, in my own opinion, I can see that the bowl's bottom is a little bit too narrow cause the bettas want to rest att he bottom. And for my bowl, the water is too deep. I really think betta will prefer a shallow place where they can come up to the surface.
JMO, I see many keep in bowls and still thrive. Maybe it's worth a try for me!
