A:  This would depend on the application: If you would like some of the water to percolate into surrounding good permeable soil then the Perforated pipe can be used, if you are trying to convey the water to a discharge location then the solid pipe would be used, again just depending on what you would like the system to do for you, but either will work. It really depends on the type of soil that exists around and under your pipe.
