We have only used the solid round belting but I am wondering if anyone can give a quick pros/cons of solid versus hollow.

No and no.

We have used hollow belts more than a few times and the only times I have have had one separate at the connector was when belts were installed to loosely. They kind of work like finger cuffs, harder you pull the more they hold on.

The only reason we have used hollow belting was because it was easy, no other big reason. They are both great. One advantage to hollow belting is it can be removed and replaced without removing rollers. Solid belting gives you more choices of belt thicknesses and will generally allow smaller roller diameters.
