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.

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
