How important is well draining soil for BAs? I’ve got a spot I’m thinking about putting one, but water tends to pool there after it rains. I was going to put a majesty there but there may be a change of plans on that.

in rainy florida drainage will be much more important.  In california, you add the water as there is little rain, so you can control the wet cycle.  In low drainage soil you do not control the wet cycle here in florida.

Ours is growing clay-dg with no soil amendment.  It's been in that spot about eight years.  Gophers got the older ones I didn't cage.
