Once you topup to PPQ you cannot switch identities without losing all the funds. Whereas Routstr nodes allow refunding your balance with them. So easier to switch identities.
On the other hand, if you’re using TEE models there are no downsides only upsides. But if you’re using normal models, the Routstr node COULD also be logging your requests (along with potentially PPQ and OpenRouter). But I trust that the big Routstr nodes (in my WoT) are not logging.
