Asamford is right. Four man rotations do not work very well if one of the starters is an E, or even D, endurance. I have always used 4 man in my solo leagues and more often than not in my on-line leagues. However, I just started a modern solo league using fictional players and used the four man. Playing out each game, I noticed that each game my starting pitchers could throw less and less pitches before turning red. When my number three starter was tired in the fourth inning, I went to the 5 man. The four man rotation is clearly superior, but you want to make sure that your pitchers have enough endurance to handle it.
