Sumo deads-greater hip/leg involvement.

A "squatters" deadlift.

^^^ Aside from the fact they suit some people's proportions better than others, they also shift a lot of stress off the lower back and onto the legs. So someone who's having lower back problems would also benefit from them since it will allow them to keep the angle of their back closer to upright as opposed to almost stiff-legging conventionals which a lot of people tend to do which puts their lower back in its most vulnerable position.
