BSOL is both the cheaper and the larger fund, so it is the default pick unless you need VSOL for a specific brokerage or account.

Fees: what the expense ratio costs you

BSOL charges 0.20% and VSOL charges 0.30% a year. On a $10,000 position that is $20 versus $30 per year, taken out of the fund's assets daily rather than billed to you. Over five years the gap compounds to roughly $50 per $10,000 in BSOL's favour, before any return.

Size and liquidity

BSOL holds about $1.3B against $29M for VSOL. A larger fund usually means tighter bid-ask spreads and more options volume, which matters if you trade around the open rather than hold for years.
