Best rotors I had were solid Brembo OEM replacement.
On our trucks I agree.
There are times when the holes are good to have, such as on a dedicated track car. The holes allow any off gassing from the pads a way to escape.
On my 911 Turbo track car, I had to change the rotors every 500-600 miles due to the holes connecting the dots and/or the outside edge.
Holes and slots are a real gimmick.
Solid rotors allow more mass for heat dissipation.
But, whatever floats your boat.

Solid only.

I’m on my original set with 110k on the clock
On my last truck, I changed them at 100k and was chasing my tail trying to find rotors that didn’t warp quickly. Even the Motorcraft rotors made in China warped
