vector vs. deque

[Paul McKenzie]

So in personal opinion, would deque's be a better choice for creating array's than vectors?

One major advantage of vector is that it is compatible with any 'C' or C-like routine that expects a contiguous buffer of type T (i.e. an array of T). The deque is not compatible and cannot be used this way.

A lot of C++ code uses vector not only as a resizable array, but for the purpose of using an RAII type that is compatible with legacy functions that take a T* or array of T.

Does massive reallocation's in vectors subject the array to a buffer overflow if it was ever 'flooded' with information?

I don't know what you're referring to. Please explain.
