I use both with my trainer at the gym. She often has me do some free weight exercise, with time on the balance board or Bosu between sets. I've seen signifigant improvement in my balance with both of these.

I love working with balance boards. Fitter First has some great balance toys. (i think their web is fitter1st.com, but don't quote me on that) We bought the Trikke, but haven't figured it out yet.

balancing act
Balance boards, wobble boards, bosu, balls all provide unstable surfaces for us to do exercises on, increasing the difficulty of the exercise, an forcing core muscle groups to engage (as well as improve neuro muscular connections so that things happen when they should).
There is no need to spend LOTs of money on some of these things. if you can't do certain exercises standing on one leg (including simple, standing on one leg), then you shouldn't be moving to unstable surfaces. (my own opinion)
have fun!
