If I were you... I'd dead every other week or once a month... HEAVY balls to the walls type dead lifting where it takes you just a week to feed yourself to hit all your pulls right 
Every week is too much IMO if you're pulling heavy. And high reps deads... i think i'd be guaranteed to be in a wheelchair... but that's just my fucked up body. lol.

Pull your damn ass off.
I pull 1x a week. HEAVY BRO.
But when i was running the typical 5x5 program, i deadlifted every wednesday for 5 sets of 5 reps. But the first 2 sets are "warmup" sets.
I work partial deadlifts now, etc. But thats just to save my lower back. (I do partial pulls after heavy goodmornings sometimes)
You need to find YOUR bodies need. The DL will blow your traps/back up big time. In fact it is my FAVORITE Lift to perform. You do need to be crazy tho.
Since Deads are hard on your body w/o a doubt, why not alternate bands w/ free weights from week to week.
Week 1
Full Deadlift - Keep form Strict. Dont bounce the weight. Do a Rep, let weight settle and pull. Dont use your bodies muscle stretch reflex.
Week 2
Deadlift w/ Bands wrapped on bar from bottom for Speed/Recovery Work to make it difficult at the top. You need to do your reps explosively, actually "chasing" the bands to lockout. It will really help with speed.
Week 3
Full Deadlift
Week 4
Deadlift w/ bands hung from top with bar in it to take weight off the bar as it is on the bottom, but as you lift the bands come off the weight. This is also a speed workout. Since you need to move the weight as fast as possible to get it off the bands and through your sticking.
NOW HERE IS THE QUESTION JKURZ, ARE YOU GOING TO BE PULLING CONVENTIONAL OR SUMO?
CONVENTIONAL = CLOSE STANCE = MORE LOWER BACK
SUMO = WIDE STANCE = MORE LEG
I say start off slow. Dont max out week to week. Get a range where your form doesnt break down and you are able to do all reps.
Do your band work with light weight that you can keep form, and be VERY EXPLOSIVE. ??3 reps 3 seconds?? (i know this is a standard for benching/speed, but it should be 3 reps 3 seconds on the DL as well)
Jkruz, alot of people are going to say dont worry about the bands, you dont need them yet. But sometimes i feel we got the tools why not use them.
Make sure your band work is not heavy band work or you will defeat the purpose. See if your body can handle the 1 heavy week 1 speed week. If you are dominating the lift then we can talk more.
That will be 25$ consultation fee, please paypal me the money asap. =]

That's a legit reply if I ever saw one MM, nicely done 
If my back ever rehabs to 110% I'd try band work, sounds fun.

bands are an amazing tool man. ESP for Rehab.
I would recommend him speed work for recovery.
(PLUS Jkurz, likes to complicate things so i gave him a "intermediate" plan lol)
Theres something about bands i cant explain. They really are great addition.
I like how if you are benching with the bands, gravity no longer in effect. The bands are Pulling that weight onto your chest. I feel this recruits more muscle fibers since your muslcles are constantly under pressure.
But as i have learned from personaly expierience, to get better and stronger at a lift, you need to do the lift. Preety simple, but the bands are amazing IMHO.
