You can always choose either DIH or /update/extract to index docs in solr. Now there are multiple benefits of DIH which I am listing below :-
1. Clean and update using a single command. 2. DIH also optimize indexing using optimize=true 3. You can do delta-import based on last index time where as in case of /update/extract you need to do manual operation in case of delta import. 4. You can use multiple entity processor and transformers in case of DIH which is very useful to index exact data you want. 5. Query parameter "rows" limits the num of records.
