Hi Vpanama,
That's a tricky question... How much time do you have to walk?
The Ingles is ~125km, whereas the Primitivo is ~330km...
I walked both in October (the Primitivo, then Ingles). Apart from some rainy days, the weather was nice although it was cold on the Primitivo because there are a few days where you are walking at over 1000m high. I'm not sure if these hills and mountains on the Primitivo get snow or not, but that would be a definite factor when deciding to walk between early April & early November.
Johhnie Walker has just released a new update of the Camino Ingles CSJ guide and it details all the accommodation options, I've just had a brief look at it to see where there is private accommodation and it looks like:
Naron: Hotel Kensington (~13km from Ferrol)
Pontedeume: 4 hotels/pensions (~16km from Naron or 29km from Ferrol)
Betanzos: 4 hotels/pensions (~20km from Pontedeume)
Meson do Vento: 2 hotels/pensions (~31km from Pontedeume)
Buscas: 1 casa rural (~10km from Meson do Vento)
Casa Rural Anton Veiras (~13km from Meson do Vento)
Sigueira: 2 hotels/pensions (~26km from Meson do Vento)
Then Sigueira to Santiago is 16km

The best resource for the Primitivo has been made by a forum member called Liz, it details all of the accommodation options as well and can be found at this link:

I don't think there are as many private accommodation options along this route, would you consider staying in albergues?
I think the three factors needing consideration are:
How much time do you have?
What is the weather like on both routes in early April & early November? Is there snow? (There might be another forum member who has walked during these times)
Would you stay in an albergue if there's no private accommodation option?
I hope this helps!!
Let me know what you decide
