Hi,Just starting a new back routine and can't decide whether to use a close grip pull down of a seated row. What do you guys think is most effective and what would you recommend? Cheers

Spend some hours studying anatomy. If you learn what muscles make up the part of the overall group you're interested in, where they insert, and how they operate synergistically to perform a given motion (and the names of those motions) you will be able to answer your own questions. This can be accomplished in a day's time, more or less, and is a much better investment in your time than spending year after year trying to get the best result through trial and error alone.
2 + 2 = 5 (for extremely large values of 2)

i would say to do both of them. you need to hit the back from all different types of angles to really hit it completely. use different attachments, grips, types of rowing, anything and everything possible to stimulate all the muscles of the back. dont stick to just a handful of exercises when you have so many available to you. experiment and see what works best for you. plus you should change your routines every so often so your body doesnt just get used to the same thing.
