I could have used either one. I would also say that these were interchangeable because I could not think of a situation where only one of the two sounds right.
The only slight difference, if one could call it that, is that ときがある sounds somewhat more direct than ことがある. Not that I have thought about this before, it seems I have learned to prefer the indirectness or softness of ことがある over the other one. You can be assured that it is not a matter of correct or incorrect.
I will sleep on this tonight, though, and let you know tomorrow if I have changed my mind.
