The "Ford solenoid" on the fender doesn't work with typical permanent-magnet gear reduction (PMGR) starters. The starter doesn't disengage cleanly, so they tend to grind the flywheel and starter drive gear every time the key is released.
I do like them when used with the older-design, direct drive electromagnet starters.
The "Ford solenoid" on the fender doesn't change the way the solenoid on the starter works, it just supplies more voltage to it. They'll still wear, and they'll still burn the copper disc and contacts inside the solenoid.
