I do them on back day. I done a program where I did them on leg day and it just took to much out of me. Squatted first and then did not have enough leg power to hit the deadlift with the power I wanted. I would get sloppy with the form, to much back and rounding of the back.

deadlift day...seriously. Try two leg nights per week. One night work on hamstrings, glutes and lower back (deadlifts, leg curls. SLDL, good mornings, step-ups, reverse dumbell lunges, etc..) On the other leg night you can work quads and calves.
I've done this split:
1 chest, triceps
2 hamstrings, low back, core (deadlifts)
3 off
4 shoulders, traps, forearms
5 quads, calves, core
6 back, biceps
7 off
Currently doing this one:
1 chest, back
2 hamstrings, low back, core (deadlifts)
3 off
4 biceps, triceps, forearms
5 quads, calves, core
6 shoulders, traps
7 off

Just rename 'leg day' 'lower body day' and count lower back with it. Then you don't have to worry about this anymore and you can get back to lifting.

I like your routine. The only thing I would say is you should do the deads a couple days after doing legs. The lower back is fatigued already from the squats and you want to get a great deadlift in fresh when you can. I would makybe take Wednesday off if poss and move the chest/back to Thursday with deadlifts in it. I like otherwise. Do some cardio on Saturday and then Sunday off again. Solid.
Bench - 305 Squat - 365 Deadlift - 365

I always wanted to know the answer to this. But I do them on leg day. The reason being is my lower back can take punishment twice a week but my legs can't.
