It's all about the mass, and block footings for a pier are not going to have the density of a solid block of concrete. Hebel blocks are aerated concrete.
Your going to have to dig the hole anyway, so why not use concrete. The big labour is in digging the hole. You can get concrete delivered and save on the mixing labour.
