Similar lifts. Both hit the midback nicely. I personally like bb rows better but both help for development purposes.
But I rarely do both in the same day either. I religeously do bb rows but do the one arm version every 2 weeks. since bringing my bb rows @220x6 my 1 arm rows max out at exactly half of that now @110x10. I had stalled at 90x10 on one arms for a long time until I increased my bb row.

No harm in doing both, unless you got a thousand other exercises for your back. But these 2 exercises are good and enough for the targeted development.
You might find yourself more comfortable or have more mind-muscle connection between those 2.[Watdo?] - Want (''should'' for you naggers) bulk.

What's with all this "not on the same day" crap? They are two different back exercises, and are not the same. There is no problem whatsoever doing them both on the same day if you want.
A wide grip barbell row paired with a one arm DB row is a great combination. If you are going to alternate them, DB rows are a good choice for deadlift days, since they are supported.☠ By reading this post, you have agreed to my negative reputation terms of service.

I LOVE 1-arm DB rows. IMHO, the best exercise I do for the back. After that, I usually opt for T-bar rows, instead of BB rows. For me it just feels like it hits the lats better... with the narrower grip.
I do a few sets on the seated cable row, with the wide grip bar (from the lat pull down machine), and use that to hit the rhomboids. So all in all, even though I typically don't do BB rows, I get the same effect. Arguably better.

I like DB row better, I feel like its too hard to keep the back horizontal with the BB row. I always have the feeling that im cheating on them. What are you doing to avoid that? I mean...how to keep a good form?

If you realize you have one side of your back that is stronger than the other, I would emphasize DB row over the BB row, as DB row will help balance out the muscles. Both are definitley great exercises tho, and I don't see why you shouldnt do them on the same day.*
Development ends where satisfaction begins. Always hungry for more.
