no weights can be better for your vertical, if you have access to them but you have to do 45-60 percent 1 rep. and the main exercises deadlifts and squats are all extremely bad for your body deadlifts kill your back even if you do them correct and lock your back, squats are bad for upper back and sometimes neck. but look at bodyweight exercises they are overall safe and there explosively done, and there are many different levels of exercises that it can keep you working for years but. and anyways squatting 1.5 and doing 5 pistol squats are similer and both challenge the body to keep getting stronger. i have mentioned to you this before why come gymnasts who never worked out with weights can go into a gym and lift a ton and they have never lifted before. so both the forms are good but strength training may win but just by a little bit because of the power output it gives you. but you can do both to get ready for plyos.
