And yes there definitely are, the biggest problem I'd see with it would be ambient light interfering with it, and the spherical shape of the balls. You'd probably need to make some sort of dark chamber for them to pass into with the line sensor.
Limit switches would probably be my preference too, as with that kind of mechanical solution there seems to be a lot less margin for error (unless the squishyness of the balls presents you with issues triggering it or something), and with something like ball collection where accidentally grabbing extra balls could cost you a penalty, I'd rather be safe than sorry.
