It depends on which Pokemon learns it, what type they are, what level they are, etc.

But hyper beam needs one turn to recharge, and solar beam doesn't. I would say hyper beam although, because recharging moves usually inflict more damage.

it really depends on the user's type. if its a grass Pokemon that is using solarbeam its power would be 180 instead of 120 because of stab.

Oh this is a different person but you can also use Sunny Day to have Solarbeam only take one turn to charge. Sunny Day + Solarbeam combo is amazing.

It depends on the situation. Solar Beam has higher base power and doesn't require a recharge turn, but Hyper Beam has better coverage and can hit multiple types effectively. Consider the rest of your team composition and the opponent's Pokemon when deciding which move to use.
