as far as getting the balls dirty or scuffed...

In our highly-sophisticated testing lab (which looks a lot like my garage/shop), the balls collect dirt better than a Swiffer duster. I'd make sure all the ball-handling surfaces you use have a really high coefficient of friction. I'm seriously thinking of using 1-inch sanding belts in competition.
