i find booleans are usually a headache, plus they leave you with weird geometry - unless of course they've changed since maya 7.

Mental Ray can have problems with them, I know maxwell doesn't like them.
You are much better off as Arran says to draw them out and create the geometry itself.
Booleans are nothing but a hassle in the end.
I've checked in 8, 8.5 and 2008 to see if they've improved and unfortunately not.
Peace, love and Anarchy~~~~~~~
