If they weighed the same and cost the same I'd buy hooked rims, just for that extra bit of reassurance. For lower pressure tubeless applications (MTB and gravel) I really don't think it makes much difference. I'll admit, though, that for road tubeless where the pressure might be within 10-20 psi of the rated maximum I'd be more comfortable with hooks.
