Deshou is a variation of "desu" while darou is a variation of "da".
In this context, "deshou" sounds formal so I would recommend you to use deshou in conversations or when writing in desu/masu style.
However, when adding "to (と) + verb", we always use "darou".
e.g.) sou darou to omoimasu.
chigau darou to iwaremashita.
I often hear learners of Japanese saying "deshou to omoimasu", which is a typical mistake.

Yes. Deshou is formal though.
