For e.g. for mandiant,  connector can be built easily or the same can be configured as feed.

What is the best design choice in this case and why ?

I assume yara-l rules may not work on alerts consumed with soar connector. Are there any other factors that should be considered while making this decision ?

Thanks

Typically, logs and raw data go to SIEM, and dedicated specific Alerts go to SOAR

I saw a similar example recently, a user pushed confirmed Alerts into SIEM and then built a Yara detection looking for the Alert and raised it into SOAR.  Whilst this worked, it added complexity to mapping fields and alert types.  Instead I suggest considering the SOAR Connector, and then push more 'day to day' logs into SIEM.

This might not always be the case... but it is today.
