RDL or Sumo Deadlift?

Hi, I would like to know your opinions/thoughts on sumo deadlifts compared to RDL in terms of hypertrophy and carry-over, does the sumo deadlift provide better hypertrophy/carry-over to the comp. deadlift than the RDL? And, when do you program sumo deadlift, if one is doing conventional as main pull?
Thanks

I don’t think the sumo is > RDL for conventional deadlift strength carry over. Hypertrophy outcomes are likely the same as well.
