With one week you could make it both. Both cities are easy daytrips from Bologna, requiring less than one hour of travel by train. If forced to choose, I would opt for Parma, which is a more lively city than Ferrara. No need to change hotels, and to move from your Bologna location, as I said before. Just take a train early in the morning anbd be back at night.

I would choose Parma...if you only have one day you can hire a guide to pick up you up at the train station and take you to see one of the castle outside town and then a short tour of the center of town.
Do not forget to try the wonderful food Tortelli d'erbetta, Prosciutto with melon or figs and the Malvasia (the local sparkling wine).
