Wow… I’ve actually been asking myself this question and Specifically about the dips for the last couple of months since I’ve been trying to incorporate them back into my program after having just recovered from some Lateral Epicondylitis. I used to do Multiple sets of High Reps and that’s how I blew up my Pecs and oddly also my Lats. When I first started out training in my early 20’s I stared with multiple sets of Bench Tricep Dips which blew up my Triceps and Only my Triceps (i looked like such an odd specimen back then) and now that I’m in my late 30’s the slow and controlled work feels more approachable but I remember it was the more high volume stuff that got me stronger and gave me the connective tissue strength to progress onto the Full Dips all those years back. Glad to see that someone else has been asking the same questions and that there are real simple and concise answers out here.
The big difference would come down to this in my view: - slow reps are more controlled and cleaner form - fast explosive reps have more intensity - because of rapid acceleration-deacceleration
I do believe that the faster one are also better for strength, so fast might be better overall (if hyper trophy is the same between fast and slow but fast gets you stronger)

Oddly the slow reps lead to more hypertrophy but the faster reps lead to more strength. Funny how the body adapts

Slow eccentric with deep stretch at bottom of eccentric
Dont know about muscle building, but for strength its definitely fast reps, cuz its have better impact on tendons
You started off dumb. Twenty reps to failure. Is it twenty reps per to failure gotta pick one
Slow
