Nothing worse than to have the strength in your deadlift but your hands can't stay closed.
Over under power grip will usually give you a better grip. But I would suggest using the grip that you plan to use so that it feels normal. If you train with an overhand grip in straps then switch it up in competition it can throw off your balance from lack of maximum effort reps.

I actually don't plan on competing. I mainly just lift becuase I enjoy it, but looking to build more power because I will be playing rugby again this spring, and it's just been a goal of mine to deadlift 500lbs. I will do the partials as well though! More grip strength is always good. I do incorporate alot of grip exercises after I finish deadlifting.
Probably going to attempt 445lbs today, I will try to get another video.
