CHUCK: I've done driveway grading with both types of blades. You can "pull the ditches" a little better with scraper than box, but that's about the only advantage. Use your toplink to adjust how agressive your box will dig in...and work "long runs" instead of trying to get [...} when its much better to get [............].

Use a very light finger/feather touch on tractor controls and let your tractor "carry" some of the weight of the box...not leaving full weight of box on ground while moving/carrying material.
As far as width...box needs to be at least every bit as wide as your tractor...maybe a bit more.
