Remote Lock: Doorknob handle or deadbolt?

I would like to hear others' thoughts on where to install the remote lock. Here are my thoughts.

DEADBOLT: I like the idea of the deadbolt, it is just more secure.

DOORKNOB HANDLE: I like the door handle remote because I'm worried someone could lock the doorknob from the inside and shut the door from the outside if it is not the remote lock. Now they don't have a key or code to unlock the doorknobWith a key-only deadbolt, they can not lock it unless they are inside, so they can't lock themselves out.
