I guess the hardtail (cx50) would be slightly better-ish but not because a full suspension is bad but an older full suspension could need a lot of work and at least with a hardtail I can get a decent fork pretty easily for an older 26" mountain bike but sometimes older shocks can be a little bit tough. There isn't great info online about the bikes.
What sort of riding is your friend doing and why are they stuck on a Ferrari bike beyond it having a logo for a car company? It could be none of those bikes are great for their riding or finding a used one that fits is going to be tough or if you find one that fits it is in rough shape or something like that.

Despite the heritage and prestige of Ferrari as a manufacturer of high-end autos, that tradition does not extend into the world of bicycles. Despite the heritage and prestige of Colnago as a manufacturer of high-end road bikes, that tradition does not extend into the world of MTBs. All that said, if in good condition, either of these bikes might ride adequately. Just be aware that the Ferrari name is fairly meaningless as an indicator of anything other than a marketing gimmick.
