The hellforge is a good place for Sol-Um, though you can only do it once.
The single best monster for runes is the countess. She has a separate rune drop chance in addition to her item drop chance. In hell, the rune drop is up to Vex (the only rune above Um I've ever found is a Vex from her). In nightmare, the rune drop is apparently up to Io. She's about 30 times as likely to drop one of the runes in her rune drop than anyone else, and many more times as likely to drop them as normal monsters.
