I currently have veiled chameleons and bearded dragons and I want to add a species of roach to their diet. Dubia and Discoid seem to be the most popular, but which one is recommended for the animals that I keep?

Honestly, either one will work, but I recommend the discoids. I bring my excess males to my friend who breeds chameleons and beardeds. The dubia males were annoying to feed to the chameleons because as soon as you try to perch them on the leaves or branches, they intentionally let go and fall towards the substrate. Discoids on the other hand will fight to hang on and will even climb up the sides of the screen cages. Discoid nymphs are similar in that respect because they will run around before settling down to hide, whereas dubia nymphs plunge for cover and stay hidden.
