BB-8's design is actually more practical for a force that needs to move around a lot than an R2 unit, since it can traverse terrain that's not flat (which is a lot more common) easier. Starkiller Base design is better than the Death Star, since it has an enclosed system of heat sinks instead of a small thermal exhaust port that is two meters wide, which leads directly to the reactor core(why no turns in the shaft, or a grate or something?!).
