Close Reason for "Homebrew this for me" questions

I've recently noticed a couple questions that seemed like "make me some suggestions for this homebrew idea I had". I voted to close both as an off-topic Shopping/Recommendation request, as to me they both seemed like asking for recommendations and idea generation, which is clearly off-topic here. I see that both were actually closed as opinion-based. This makes sense as homebrew ideas would be opinion-based, without a clear way to determine a "best" answer. I, however, have a (possibly mis-) conception that "on-topic" close reasons can generally be improved to be good questions, whereas these clearly cannot.

Which of these close reasons is the better option?
