Coming from having worked in the water systems industry for many years
My experience with ball valves is they don't hold up well when dealing with other than fairly clean fluids.The ball will rotate in abrasives , scratch and begin to leak
In MHO, A good quality , fully opening gate valve or manual open flapper valve
would be worth trying.
But even then, there is a chance that some sediments could capture in the small area under the gate or flapper
Simply installing back to back blade valves has always worked for me
