re: Which is better: hex bar or straightbar deadlifts?

Both are good lifts.
Straight bar will build posterior chain and back more. Hex bar will build quad drive and traps more.
Hex bar is easier to teach and generally easier on the back, but form flaws can snap you up in either.
Just depends on what you want to prioritize, IMO. I experiemented and did not find any carryover from hex bar to straight bar, but that's me. I do find straight bar carries over into hex bar, but again, that may be me.

I agree with you.
Hex carries over to a squat more IMO. Basically a squat in the hands.
I think it's a great exercise but shouldn't replace the straight bar.
