Unless you're building a pure dragster only, there are no advantages to a solid. Ride, comfort, performance, and control hands-down favor the independent rear. It's not even close; you'll want a limited slip of course as well. There's also a safety issue -- these cars, on occasion will come out from under you on hard acceleration. Some call it "snap-oversteer" and it can be quite dangerous. A quality rear that is properly set-up will help reduce this rather nasty characteristic.
