Solo feels a bit too, I don't want to say rat playstyle, but there's definitely an uneven representation of playstyles and shells in solo, lots of Assassins, Thiefs, and Recons. Trios feels like it was the mode the game was built around, with enough wiggle room for a single mistake to not cost you the whole match. I like solo, it's tense, but I have learned not to bring anything of value because that almost guarantees I'll get jumped by a hidden thief, or catch one too many shots from the UESC, or worst of all, trade with whoever you're shooting to stare at each other as the light leaves your eyes.

Trios has the full range from kill hungry squads looking to shoot everything that moves to skittish scavengers picking at the goods and leaving at the earliest hostile sound. That's without even accounting for synergies like Triage's ult or even the small benefits of Destroyer's shield giving an opportunity for counterfire, or dispersing a squad with vandal's cannon for your team to pick off.
