theyre different. Stiff legged and romanian deadlifts focus primarily on your hamstrings. They increse flexibility and speed also. Doning the good old fashioned deadlift, works your quads and low back primarily, while still being good for hammies and butt. You can use more weight with a regular deadlift, thus they would be a good option for adding mass to your legs, but the other typs are very important also. They are pretty much the best thing you can do for your hamstrings. So you could probably do both.
