I've not had grip problems yet on my deads but I used a mixed grip. My grip does fatigue more easily on DBs, though, at rather wussy weights after a while. What I've done since the beginning of the year is use whatever opportunity comes along to strengthen my grip. Hauling firewood, I use one hand to pick up and carry one piece of wood from its end. Moving weight plates around for my workout, I'll use one hand to pick up and carry them. I play circus with my assorted sizes of kids by grabbing them with one hand and lifting them. And so on. My grip strength has improved tons!
I don't use straps, wraps, gloves, chalk so I know nothing about those.
