Trap bar dead only if you don’t compete in powerlifting?

This week’s question comes from…us.

If you’re not competing in powerlifting, are there any good reasons to deadlift with a straight bar rather than at trap bar? What would you be giving up, and what would you be gaining? If you do compete, should you do trap bar deads at all?
