Clean and press is a great multi-joint movement. I almost included it, but deadlifts and cleans are fairly similar, not the same but similar, and I was going for variety. But yeah, tailor your workout to you. Everyone is different, so there really is no one right way... more like parameters to work within. Even with the deadlifts, there are dozens of varieties you can use. Experiment with grip, stance, elevation; just focus on good form and full range of motion.
