Basically if you've never done something and/or almost never do it, you need a really really good reason to start, which is generally not "I saw it on a youtube vid and it seemed cool".
Other than block pulls (rack pulls?) everything you mentioned is more technically difficult than a regular DL, so unsure why you'd want to do more technically difficult work when fatigued when currently worried about your form in the main and simpler lift.
Thremp,
The underlined is more what I was getting at; my apologies for not being more precise in my terminology. I'm looking for an accessory lift that I can use to address potential weak points; if I knew what those were and how to fix it, I wouldn't be asking. Since my current choice for squat day DL accessory is "lighter deadlifts", I was asking for some input as to whether that or any of the four or five exercises listed, all of which I've done before, would be more worth doing. If the answer is "pull more from the floor and get your head out of your own ass", then ok.
