Which suspension is better Flocculated or Deflocculated?

There are suspensions that can be either flocculated or deflocculated. The main difference between flocculated and deflocculated suspension is that the rate of sedimentation in a flocculated suspension is rapid whereas the rate of sedimentation in a deflocculated suspension is slow.
