Rate the reps misc.
I personally prefer a mix of both, atleast for hypertrophy. Rep out touch n go (not crash and go) and then find the balls to rape out 1-2 more
PR that, at least since I've been under 200 lbs, I hit 7 with sumo when I was fat

If training for strength and or powerlifting the main focus should be dead stop deadlifts
Practice as you play
For hypertrophy only I could see an argument for touch n go reducing systemic fatigue however touch n go doesn't mean bounce like a basketball, more you should treat the ground like eggshells and do a light touch so that you are in continuous control of the weight

I'd be first to admit that deadlifts aren't my strong point. Best I did was 405 x 5 touch and go last year. However, I didn't deadlift often. I focused on rack pulls most of the time. Recently started bulking again and made it a point to deadlift weekly. Hoping to get my numbers up as well

Touch n go.
But excellent test of might.
Very good power to weight ratio.
What's your weight right now?
And looks like you could have got 2 more. I didn't see any hitching on the last rep. So were you going for a non-hitch PR?
Because with hitching you could have got like two more. BUt yeah that's a really good, good form PR.
Also PRs are like world records because nobody else on the planet is you. So whatever you set a PR in it's almost as if you set a WR. Because nobody is living your life or going through the things that you're going through.
SO I can only imagine how pumped you were after setting this all time PR.
