Is reciting some Quranic verses for the deceased beneficial during a visit to them, or is supplicating for them better?

The prescribed act when visiting graves is to supplicate for the deceased, by consensus. As for reciting the Qur'an during a visit, there is a difference of opinion, and it is preferable to avoid it. However, reciting the Qur'an absolutely and dedicating its reward to the deceased is something from which the deceased benefits, according to some scholars, and this is the view of Imam Ahmad and Abu Hanifa. Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said: "As for charity on behalf of the deceased, he benefits from it by the consensus of Muslims... Likewise, he benefits from Hajj performed on his behalf, sacrifice on his behalf, freeing a slave on his behalf, and supplication and seeking forgiveness for him, without dispute among the imams. As for fasting on his behalf, voluntary prayer on his behalf, and reciting the Qur'an on his behalf, there are two opinions among scholars regarding this; one is that he benefits from it, and this is the madhhab of Ahmad, Abu Hanifa, and others, and some of the companions of Al-Shafi'i and others. The second is that it does not reach him, and this is the well-known view in the madhhab of Malik and Al-Shafi'i."
