Solana is a VC-funded business, while Ethereum is more akin to a protocol, a la Bitcoin.

If you put any stock in Satoshi's vision of cryptocurrency supporting decentralization, censorship resistance, and freedom, etc., there is no comparison between Solana (or Ripple, Binance, etc.) and Ethereum

Solana is conventional finance with a "crypto" veneer. Ethereum was a good-faith, second step expanding upon Satoshi's vision.
