Both are fine to use if done properly. As already stated the underhand will stimulate more lat and overhad will involve more rhomboid, teres, traps, as well as lats.
Just be cautious with the underhand grip and don't use soo much weight that proper form suffers or you will be prone to injure the biceps, which I have seen many times in my career. Row the weight don't throw it. Also keep a soft lockout in the elbow in the stretch position to keep the brachialis from engaging and taking over. Your hands are just hooks holding the weight pull with the back not the arms. Make sure to get a stretch on the eccentric part of the lift. A muscle stretched with resistance recieves the most overload.
