Not much, as I understand it it’s as difficult, if not more difficult to actually enter a black hole, as it is to throw something into the sun. Literally easier to just fling it out into the cosmos.

Why?

You have to shed the inertia you already have to fall into the sun. The difference is about 30km/s or 108,000 km/h to slow down enough. The rotational plane of the solar system can be used to speed you up to escape velocity, especially with a slingshot off one of the giants, so it requires a lot less fuel.
