both sound good!
Bougainvillea doesn't like too much water, so not sure if it would flourish in upper HPP, but if you look around and it's doing great nearby, it sure is easy to grow ...
Bougainvillea didn't fluorish in my Hilo yard, but goes nuts over in Waikoloa, Kona, and lower HPP. Not sure if it's too much water or not enough sunshine.
I've tried pomegranate in East Hawai'i. Mine died, and very few of my plants die here. Slugs ate it up. It may have gotten too much water as well.
As Carey said, boug will not be that attractive unless you're willing to trim it. It'll just throw long runners; it looks better compact and dense.
