My opinion...unless it's absolutely, clearly, a clean held ball, call the foul. From your description of the play, which we've all seen many times, it's unlikely that contact did not occur to "gain the advantage" of placing a hand on the ball. By opting for the held ball, you'll be making "decisions" on that play all night. By calling a foul, you send the message that it will be good clean defense, or a special place on the bench picking splinters. You could classify it as a "game management foul".
