So I see hurdling as more valuable unless you absolutely need those 4 points, and can't get them racing around the track in the time it takes you to position that ball.

I agree. Hurdling gets you 8 points plus 2 more if you cross the finish line. So taking the time to place a ball would only get you 2 more points.
