Texas all day brother. But if you can wait kabuki is developing a deadlift bar and it will be the best on the market for sure.

I love my Texas deadlift bar. That is the same bar you will see in meets and has much better knurling than an Ohio.

Greetings!
In all our power lifting meets we use Texas bars, very few meet directors use Kabuki (Texas meet directors). Ohio bars are not approved for some federations. I have both Texas and Ohio, Texas carries better narling as well as the DL bar has a hell of a whip.

Ain't no other bar whip like that texas spaghetti bar

Train with an ohio or rogue though in my OP. Not a powerbar/stiff bar with no whip or flex. More so if you pull sumo.
Sumo lifters who train with a straight bar tend to platue around mid to high 200s and bomb in meets because even though have less distance to travel once you break the floor, many find that changing the position they are in when breaking the floor, even though higher, is not strong enough to break the floor?

Have tested and proved this with multiple athletes, pulling stiff bar sumos off the floor at an 8-8.5RPE then using some 1 inch blocks (replicating the flex of texas) and watching that same exact bar not budge.

If you pull conventional then hey, give yourself 6 weeks at the end of a prep to familiarize yourself with the texas, but use that stiff bar all day long, if your positioning and movement patterns are so much as not bad, the texas gonna add to your lift. Unless you simply arent used to it. The more flex the better
