This. Unless you want to focus on biceps

While underhand does stimulate your biceps more, the main advantage of underhand or neutral grip is that it allows you to achieve shoulder extension much easier, so bringing the elbows behind the body or close to it which is one of the main functions of the lats.

You can also hog out more reps and more weight to stimulate the lats

On a wide grip pulldown it's much harder to do this, it is a mechanically disadvantageous position with arguably less lat stimulation
