If you're making a spark-oriented team, then Rhoa lead would be good. You'd need someone with a good spark blanket (animation) in order to get a good spark team, such as Maxwell or Feeva. The only issue is Rhoa is technically outclassed by Chrome, unless you're actually making use of Rhoa's elemental attack buffs against opponents who are weak to said elemental buffs. His defense ignore from his ES is also pretty big (pair that up with a lead Avant, goddamn, the damage potential!!).

Deimos is probably one of the best defensive leads in the game at this time, due to his taunt and his leader skill filling up BB gauge while attacked. His kit has good self-synergy, and compensates the team with BB fill if everyone gets hit with an AoE. If you need to go up against a high status-inflicting opponent, then Deimos lead would definitely be better than Rhoa.

In general, since the HP buff and defensive capabilities to Deimos are better than Rhoa (that taunt literally saves so much ass), he's good for hard bosses. Deimos is generally the better lead for trials, more or less. Rhoa would likely be better in Arena, Frontier Hunter and Raids.
