Six of one, half a dozen of the other. If the circuit board traces are thick there will be less resistance in the trace and therefore will not be energy thermal loss.
Depending on design either can have capacitive and inductive reactances that can affect sound quality. Design is everything.
In tube amps having independant tube mounts that are bolted to a frame are much better than epoxy mounted soldered tube mounts. Epoxy boards over time get brittle by the high heat tubes radiate. Solder joints can loosen on the board as well. Point to point wiring normally will carry more current and have less loss.
With solid state production costs and assembly labor would be enormous and difficult because usually has many small components. Servicing point to point solid state would also be difficult. Can you imagine the mess of a home theater reciever with point to point? If well done printed definately best for solid state.
