overhand gives out a better grip (grip strength) however, for most there comes a time, or weight, that you need to use mixed grip. overhand has 8 finger on one side of the bar, and only your thumbs on the other. so they give out. using a mixed grip is 5 fingers on each side. and you shoudl alternate which hand is forward and which is back. btw i've seen power lifters dead 780lb with an overhand grip.
tl;dr doesnt matter which grip, though over hand is slightly better until it's too hard to do. alternate hands when doing mixed grip
