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.
Also, not to mention the black lines on the balls might cause some problems.
