About plugged vias under BGA

Hi everyone,
I have a BGA.
The manufacturer is asking if I want plugged vias.
I only have 2 vias for the fan out.
At present time, they don't have any via type according to IPC 4761.
I usually ask the vias to be covered with solder mask.
What are the pros and cons to declare the vias as plugging vias.
There are 4 different types of plugging vias in AD.
Which one do you suggest?
Thanks.

Vias are plated holes that connect signals between layers, and are typically smaller than ordinary plated holes that are used for soldering through-hole components.
But there are multiple, like

mabye is not that because some of your vias are touching the pads?
