Just do both. I'd do heavy squats/light deadlifts one week then switch the next week, this is what I do and I play a lot of basketball and hockey. For sports they both have their pros but I say they are just about equal overall.

Direct load vs indirect load. The squat and RDL are superior to the conventional deadlift if you are referring to athletics specifically though.
SQ: 225x5 (High-bar ATG)
DL: 295x5/315x1
"Many basic or compound exercises (e.g. squat, bench press, etc.) have a bell shaped resistance curves or shift the resistance through multiple muscle groups throughout the exercise's range of motion allowing the muscles to momentarily relax between repetitions. This period of momentary relaxation between repetitions allows greater opportunity for momentary blood flow permitting the clearing of acid accumulation."
