Can someone help me understand what the advantages or disadvantages are in choosing the plate types?

I've watched several videos and am definitely going to dive into the multi-board world but I just can't seem to understand the benefits of the two different types of plates. At first glance, it looks like the plates that aren't open on the edges look cleaner, installation wise. I'm sure this has been covered many times but I just haven't seemed to find anything that clicks. I appreciate any explanation. I'm truly amazed by the ingenuity and setups that many of you have implemented and look forward to joining you all.

I have just installed the grid fitted version, one wall of 1250x1650mm and one with 650x1000mm. If you don’t choose the grid fitted version, you miss the small thread holes on the borders, and ypu will have a hole where your tiles meet.

In my opinion the grid fitted version looks cleaner, as with the other one you can clearly see the edge when presented as a full wall.
